A simple but effective comedy, The Reluctant Shopper kept its audience engaged and the laughs rolling freely.
Canberra Reviews
Are you addicted to dinner party debates, and do you rant at the TV whenever a politician spouts out another sound bite? Then you’ll get your chin stroking and hmmm pondering going with a visit to version 1.0’s production of The Major Minor Party.
Giggles, laughs and a couple of gaffes – that’s what you get with a collection of comedians in one night.
This is the core strength of this production. The unnamed creation of Frankenstein is the life and soul of this play, and he shines.
The solo performer, Stéphane Georis, is a master of storytelling and puppetry. His repartee is as engaging as it is clever and the choice of objects is remarkably appropriate.
The Street Theatre has brought to Canberra two of the cleverest interpreters of Shakespeare’s work who ever trotted the globe.
Playing far too short a season at The Q, Shake & Stir’s Animal Farm is a remarkable piece of theatre.
A post-industrial landscape meets a little Brit kitsch in Bell Shakespeare’s latest work to grace the stage of Canberra’s Playhouse.
