An Inspector Calls
 

A celebratory evening for the Birling family is interrupted by the arrival of the mysterious Inspector Goole. As an investigation unfolds, it is revealed that each family member played a part in the death a young woman. This classic play is a must-see for a whole new generation.

When Inspector Goole arrives unexpectedly at the prosperous Birling family home, their peaceful dinner party is shattered by his investigations into the death of a young woman named Eva Smith.  His startling revelations shake the very foundations of their lives and challenge us all to examine our consciences.  The play veers from a typical “who done it” to exploring the deeper question of “what did it”.  Priestley critiques the selfishness and moral indifference of the upper class, urging audiences to reflect on their responsibilities towards others as it is revealed how each of the players contributed to another’s tragic end. More relevant now than ever, this classic play is a must-see for a whole new generation.

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
  • Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
