The geometric 90s looking set design tell you immediately that you’re in for something new and different with this production of Othello.

Boston Marriage is a delight. A viciously funny comedy of manners with the earthy vulgarity typical of Mamet’s writing. The combination of crudeness and elevated wit is intoxicating.

There are plenty of options of what to do on a Wednesday night in Melbourne but deciding to go and see The Threepenny Opera isn’t a bad choice. In fact I would say its a very good option indeed.

The play is an interesting one about generosity and what happens when someone is overwhelmed with a desire to help – regardless of whether the help is welcomed or even warranted.

There is a formality and restraint to proceedings with the occasional hint of humour. Glimmers of comraderie, competition and bravado between the men all emerge.

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.
