Dr Brown Brown Brown Brown Brown and His Singing Tiger: The Kids' Show almost epitomises what theatre for kids (of all ages) should be like. The show Phil Burgers and Stuart Bowden perform is relatable to adults as well, and the kids and I imagine much of the comedy they presented onthe Brisbane Festival Spiegeltent stage today was just the PG version of their adult comedy.

Tender Napalm is simply one of those rare and great shows where everything comes together just right. Anyone with a hankering for beautifully crafted, meticulously meted and wonderfully performed theatre will get their fill here. See it and weep, laugh, be moved and inspired.

Executed with courage and finesse, After All This is a marvellous creation that brings to life the morbid questions at the back of everyone's minds. If you can get your hands on a ticket, After All This is definitely a show well-worth seeing, and is infinitely engaging for a predominantly text based piece.

UndergroundFINAL300

Underground is designed to provide a really good night out, and it achieves that wholeheartedly. It is joyful, fun and invigorating, true escapism capped off with a whole lot of glitter and confetti. Underground is a definite must see in this year's Brisbane Festival.
