Tammy Andersons Itchy Clacker

Anderson effortlessly creates a kaleidoscope of characters; a twist of a limb, a tweak of the voice and they are there on stage.

The Pitch | Malthouse Theatre

Houghton runs through a gamut of characters, emotions and increasingly absurd movie storylines as we watch his alter-ego Walter Weinermann create the film that he is about to pitch.

The First Step on a Tram Is Hell | La Mama

Sue Ingleton’s latest show is a soft-hearted tribute to the hardiness and perversity of old age.

Exit the King | Malthouse/Company B

With such talent come high expectations. Happily this reviewer was far from disappointed, how could you be when presented with such a memorable night of great theatre.

Miss Saigon | Cameron Mackintosh

Twelve years after it’s Australian premiere in Sydney, Miss Saigon has finally arrived in Melbourne. And it was worth the wait.

Asylum | La Mama

Asylum! In today's world the word conjures up the image of asylum seekers, refugees fleeing political persecution in their homeland and seeking sanctuary in Australia.

Black | Malthouse Theatre

With its spectral bodies and sea of words, all floating about in the chiaroscuro of memory, Anna Tregloan's Black is a difficult work to categorise.

Macbeth: the Contemporary Rock Opera

The show is at its best when it indulges in the naturally dark world of betrayal and courtly intrigues, as it succeeds in drawing you into the twisted minds of the Macbeth’s.
