Sheltering | Bangarra
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.
The Sapphires | Canberra Theatre Centre and Queensland Theatre Company
There is a reason The Sapphires has become one of Australia's most beloved musicals.
Middle Raged | Women with Pockets and Andrew Kay & Associates
Beautiful voices across the board, a lovely ease with one another, and enough self-awareness to never let the comedy become caricature.
