I had the privilege and pleasure of attending the Alaska String Band’s concert at the Mechanic’s Institute last night, and like the rest of the attendees I was completely floored by their performance.

The Government Inspector’s charm lies in the voyeuristic nature of the script. As a part of the audience, you are in on the farce from the very beginning, and invited into the backstage world of theatre.

The Australian Shakespeare Company is highly regarded for creating experiences rather than simply productions, and Wuthering Heights is no exception.

It reels you in with its bitchy, scathing dialogue, then lays the serious issues out before you. Laughs give way to lumps in the throat.

Last night’s performance was full of energy and humour, and subtle interpretations of songs from Krall’s albums with a few surprises in the mix.

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.
Afterglow | Midnight Theatricals
However earnest and inarguably lovely it is to look at, the pedestrian sexual indulgence and relationship traumas of New York 'A' gays penned 9 years ago doesn't feel particularly urgent.
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.
