The two performances that make up the double bill of Fraudulent Behaviour and 2 Dimensional Life of Her on offer at the Arts House Meat Market could not be more stylistically and conceptually different from one another.

Rarely do we get an opportunity to engage with life's big questions that offers both intellectual and philosophical nourishment in a way that is also life-affirming and tremendous fun. Daisy Chain is such an opportunity.

Jane Montgomery Griffiths’ one woman show ‘fills in the gaps’ of the elusive life of Sappho, with enthralling dramatic artistry, sharp wit, and academic considerations.

It’s true: Lynch is edgy, politically incorrect and crosses “way” over the line more often than not. He isn’t afraid to test how far he can go and how far his audience is willing to follow him.

There are moments of radiant theatrical eloquence here, expressing the burden of a dead son, the loss of a cherished partner, of one’s country and the loss of one’s self.

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.
