Brutal. Much like its subject matter, Patrick Marber’s play Closer, is a turbulent spectacle of the utter mediocrity and predictability of humanity.

The style and sensitivity of Etta's music sits precisely in the range that Vika's own voice swells, rolls, shines and soars so powerfully that it sounds as if her heart will burst with emotion.

Love Me Tender explores a grab-bag of vaguely-related themes through a series of stories told sometimes in dramatic dialogue, and other times in literary monologue.

Slightly clichéd in its Sliding Doors postmodern structure and its theme of multiple universes and alternate realities, the two-hander throws together an unlikely pair.

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’.
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.

It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
