Rabbit & Watson by Shane Woon
 

A celestial love story

Award winning playwright Shane Woon blends Chinese mythology, Boy Love drama and the AFL in Rabbit & Watson, an epic queer love story that transcends space and time. Directed by Keith Brockett, the play follows Rabbit God Tu’er Shen as he abandons heaven time and again to reunite with his lost love, now reborn as rising AFL player Watson. Tender, funny and mythic, this new work explores love, identity and Chinese Australian culture through a contemporary lens.

    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.

    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
    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.

    There is a lot to love about this show; the cast are strong, and the onstage band who interact in the main diner setting is a fun touch.
