In a Forest Dark and Deep is a two-hander, telling the story of a brother and sister caught up in a terrible and complicated dynamic where they force each other to reveal cherished values and then betray them.

Triffett's characters are complex and believable, suffering from very human ambivalence. They struggle to survive in a gothic surreal world fed by an undercurrent of magic realism, a world which ultimately collapses upon itself.

I got to witness one of the strangest things I've seen on stage: a zombie boylesque performance by Jackerage that featured ballet, popping, stripping, pulling scabs off bare flesh with teeth and finally falling down dead at the end of the song.

Lee Ranaldo is a gentleman. He fronts the stage looking a bit like someone's favourite uncle, with a slightly unruly silvery grey head of hair, and charms with an unprepossessing and appreciative manner, genuinely happy to play for you.

Heathers The Musical
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.The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company

Quirks of the source – and of the environment that sustains it – are cleanly exposed in a high-energy hour of physical comedy, delivered with moments of avian grace.

It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
Suzie Miller’s award-winning one-woman play, Prima Facie returns to Melbourne for a limited season.
The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
