Out Cast Theatre’s latest offering melds hilarity with anguish. You think, perhaps they shouldn’t be so funny under the shadow of a loved one’s death.

Dwelling on the performance for days afterwards, I still feel a great ambiguity. The play lacks coherence.

Dead Man’s Cell Phone is vivid through its accuracy and humour, which is couched in the magic realism of Sarah Ruhl’s writing.

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

It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
