Heaven
 

Bitchen Wolf presents the Australian premiere of Irish playwright Eugene O’Brien’s Heaven at Qtopia Sydney’s Loading Dock Theatre from 14 to 31 May.

Heaven is a hilarious yet heart-wrenching examination of identity, regret, and the lives we secretly long for.

On the weekend of a wedding in rural Ireland, Mal and Mairead’s 20-year marriage is quietly crumbling. For Mal, a buried queer desire, once repressed in favour of a "normal" life, suddenly resurfaces when a Christlike young man reignites his forbidden fantasies.

For Mairead, a fiery, tough-as-nails woman who married Mal to escape her own reckless romantic past, the weekend throws her face-to-face with the one who got away—the man who still holds a piece of her heart.

    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.

    Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
    To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.

    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.

    Even when individual works did not fully land for me dramaturgically, there is no denying the precision, intelligence and care of the artists creating them.

    Dirty Rotten Scoundrels | Redfern Lane Productions
    Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
