Part interactive theatre, part performance art, with an extensive offerings of mini-desserts, Liminal Treats by Scratch Arts is a tricky show to pinpoint, even by Fringe standards.

Totally beautiful and distinctly meditative, Pendulum is a formal work, impressive for its specificity and clear spacial intentions with corresponding sounds.

Hercules, Dionysus, Cupid and Apollo are in the house. They can tumble, balance, whipcrack and trapeze with the best of them, but they definitely don't take themselves too seriously.

ASMR is short for autonomous sensory meridian response – the “brain tingles” one gets when stimulated by sensory offerings like noises, sights or touch.

I simply cannot fault this production, three hours and three acts disappeared into what felt like minutes, and I was spellbound by the classic tale brought to life with clarity, beauty, and artistry.

In this, her latest collaboration with Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, post-post-modern diva Meow Meow manages to (almost) restrain her usual on-stage excess and antics and invites us to celebrate music from the 1920’s.

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

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.
Now playing Melbourne
There is a lot to love about this show; the cast are strong, and the onstage band who interact in the main diner setting is a fun touch.
