Angus Cerini is known for performances of intense visceral physicality and singular innovative language and this show is a wonderful example of him at his best.

Kin Collective’s work with the comedy/drama/tragedies of Martin McDonagh is nothing short of stupendous theatre.

This is a very enjoyable production all round, although one needs to skip over the western interpretations of Thai history and culture.

McDonagh’s talent is for telling twisted Irish folk tales in an almost anti-style, where the genre is not one thing or another.

An incredible feat of strength, technical ability and grace, the Australian Ballet’s current four-piece feature is a glimpse into the future of ballet.

That this is the first attempt at a stage performance should be massively impressive. The writing is tight, the acting is solid, the staging is adventurous, and there's a feeling of confidence about the whole thing you might not expect with a debut.

The Book of Mormon
It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.
My Brilliant Career | Melbourne Theatre Company
Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.
Cluedo The Play
Cluedo is an energetically performed ensemble farce that either toyed with surprising us, or missed opportunities to do so.

Piper's Playhouse | Crown Entertainment
There’s an endless fascination for the underground nightlife of prohibition-era America or turn-of-the-century Europe.
Now playing Melbourne
Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
