TOMAS CLIFFORD GOT STOOD UP

“The world needs more of Tomas Clifford” - Fringefeed

Winner of the FRINGE WORLD 2025 Martin Sims Award, Tomas Clifford Got Stood Up is an original musical-comedy cabaret inviting you to join Tomas as he dives into what exactly went wrong leading up to that fateful night - from unrequited high school crushes, to obscene attempts at dating and flirting. Accompanied by live musicians, delusions of grandeur, and the many ghosts of boys who never responded, Tomas Clifford Got Stood Up is a coming-of-age that couldn’t come quick enough, and if history repeats itself - might never show up at all!

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.
Waitress the Musical
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.
Prima Facie | Griffin Theatre Company
Suzie Miller’s award-winning one-woman play, Prima Facie returns to Melbourne for a limited season.

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.

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