This is cabaret of the kitsch, nostalgic and crass, telling small stories that together make up a funny and delightfully original show.

The problem I found with The Nightwatchman is that it is so self-consciously beautiful it's bloodless.

A Jew and a German explore the legacy of the Holocaust. It is a convergence that is rife with personal and political tension, the cultural legacy of atrocity and guilt through historical implication.

Singer and bassist Richard Bona has it all at his fingertips: jazz, blues, funk, fusion, bossa nova, Caribbean rhythms and the African beats of his native Cameroon.

Nothing to Lose | Fifth Gear Productions

This is a tight and tense production.

Details: Bron Batten; 21 November 2010

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

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.
