This production is pointless, tedious, pretentious, and the direction is uninspired.

This unpretentious production is definitely an over-achiever that shows promise of far greater things.

This is a wonderful adaptation of a modern literary classic, and one of the best productions I have seen by Opera Australia in the past few years.

The 2011 NICA Circus Showcase is a fun production. It’s easy on the head, and the heart. Across the evening the audience are privy to a broad spectrum of talent, on many different levels.

This is not going to be a night of Divas or musical theatre renditions, but rather a collection of not-so-obvious choices, which makes for an unpredictable, yet highly enjoyable performance.

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

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.
