What's On

Jayne Steer - Addickted

Jayne Steer lost her mum, her fiancé and her mind – in that order, all two weeks before her nine-night Melbourne International Comedy Festival debut. After a psychotic episode on her 35th birthday led to a cPTSD diagnosis, Jayne decided to escape to a luxury treatment facility in Thailand for three months. Surrounded by millionaires healing trauma through smoothies and breathwork, Jayne finally faced her biggest addiction – not to men, not to drugs or chaos, but to love itself.

Darkly funny and painfully human, Addickted is the brutally honest comedy about loss, lust and trying to heal yourself while constantly lighting yourself on fire.

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.

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.
