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.

Jekyll and Hyde
Anthony Warlow could sing binary code and it would be a delight but the man deserves as much praise for being a profoundly good character actor as he does for the joy of his voice.
Ragtime | The Production Company
As its final show in our gorgeous State Theatre, The Production Company offers Melbourne a truly wonderful and benevolent parting gift in Ragtime.
Thigh Gap | La Mama

Photograph 51 | Melbourne Theatre Company
Rosalind Franklin was one of the greatest scientists of the 20th century with her x-ray image, ‘Photograph 51’, revealing to the world for the first time that the intricacies and structure of DNA was in fact a double helix.
The Glad Tomorrow | Katie Noonan and the Australian String Quartet
For those of us who were there, down to every man, woman and child, this was a performance that will linger long into our lives.
