So My Dad F***** the Nanny
 

International comedian Isabella Charlton tells of a dark steamy affair between her father and the family's nanny. From London to Hong Kong, this twist-turning and ironic show takes us through the highs and lows of adolescence and adult love life, unveiling family secrets, power plays and salacious surprises while also displaying Isabella's personal growth, self actualisation and redemption.

    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
    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
