It is a mark of Capsis' talent that he can conjur up each member of his family simply by shifting his stance, adopting an expression or picking another voice from the vast array at his disposal.

dirtsong makes a statement about the loss of so many Aboriginal languages, as well as the associated community ties. It is performed in 11 different languages - a vast number in our English-only culture, but a mere drop in the ocean of the hundreds that were spoken in Australia before European settlement.

It's clear from the start that he knows he's asking a lot when he requests that the audience watch Mandaddy "through the prism of sexy thoughts".

With its ensemble of substantial characters, Top Girls gives many opportunities for power-house performances and the cast, especially Hegh and Theodorakis, certainly deliver.

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.
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.
