This is undoubtedly some of the most exciting work to come out of Australia but interestingly, it is not set in Australia, nor does it feature characters or issues that are unique to our country, culture or history.

Viewing Strangeland is all about surrendering to the experience and absorbing the carefully crafted atmosphere, rather than searching for narrative or connection to character.

Spectacular is two death scenes placed side by side, both literal and metaphorical representations and both drawn out and meandering, filled with heavy breathing and a very dry sense of humour.

Knives in Hens is full of metaphors and ambiguity, a work that for its audience, resonates in such a way that experience is a must and articulation near impossible.

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
However earnest and inarguably lovely it is to look at, the pedestrian sexual indulgence and relationship traumas of New York 'A' gays penned 9 years ago doesn't feel particularly urgent.
Cluedo The Play
Cluedo is an energetically performed ensemble farce that either toyed with surprising us, or missed opportunities to do so.
Piper's Playhouse | Crown Entertainment
There’s an endless fascination for the underground nightlife of prohibition-era America or turn-of-the-century Europe.
Now playing Melbourne
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.
It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
