The Doll is a wonderful piece of theatre, that isn't really about a moment in our past, but about the search for love and the disappointments, denial and heartbreak that can come to those who refuse to see the realities of the world around them.

There is a beautiful combination of skill and raw talent on stage. Commander can convey a character with simple props, such as the refilling of a whiskey glass, and gives us a glimpse into a younger version of herself, past lovers and friends.

A young Jewish boy, Evan Goldman (Andrew McKinnon), twelve turning thirteen, greets us with the news of his bar mitzvah. The excitement is shortly ruined by the news that his family has split and he must move from New York, his school and his friends, with his mother, to a country town in Indiana.

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

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.
