Handel’s music is overwhelmingly beautiful. The highly structured and intricate nature of the notes sweep you away to a musical paradise where great stories are re-told and consequently re-born.

There is no mistaking Let The Sunshine as a David Williamson play. It has everything you’d expect: multitudes of witty one-liners, politics, clichéd female characters; and all set in that slice of Aussie life encapsulated by midlife crises and domestic turbulence.

Monday night was a tough gig for the Scissor Sisters' unique mix of brash, witty and supersexual entertainment, but after a sluggish start they managed to pull off a great show.

A triumph for young writer Melissa Bubnic, the cast and director, the Red Stitch Writers Program, and a heartily inspiring sample of what the stage does best.

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.
