Smarter than a beagle and more fun than a Jack Russell, this show is a true delight.

The beauty of Nguyen's fringe show is that it is intimate, personal and takes place in a Karoke bar on Little Bourke Street. This is theatre at its best - a family affair. Singing English songs in a Korean bar with a host telling you about her relationship with her mother is quintessentially Fringe theatre.

Nilaja Sun (who both wrote and performs the one woman show) is brilliant. Full stop. Her attention to detail with speech patterns, mannerisms and physicality of each character is awe inspiring. She is all at once hilarious, fascinating and heartbreaking to watch.

With a cast including Tracy Mann, Alan Flower, and Vincent Crowley, this exciting, thought provoking, moving and downright creatively excellent contemporary hybrid theatre work is a must-see…full stop.

In pointing out the foolishness of the ways people represent themselves, Monley and Houska celebrate this foolishness as much as they mock it. Which makes for a great feel-good show, whether or not a couple are going to get together at the end.

West Gate | Melbourne Theatre Company
At 11.50am on October 15 1970, 35 men fell to their death as their place of work gave way from under them.
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
This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
Swan | Elf Lyons
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.
The Brut Truth: A Champagne Comedy Tasting | Prétentieux vin Branleur
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.
