The art of storytelling is steeped in rich theatrical tradition. An art form in its own right, at its best it is intimate, personal and simple - yet no mean feat for a performer to undertake.

With this current thirtieth birthday season, the show truly does feel new. It’s invigorated, creative, well-integrated and still retains that quintessentially larrikin spirit that distinguishes the company.

Before the lights have even gone down, Glenn and Rhonda are mingling and laughing with the audience, taking photos as they sit in their laps and handing out unopened cans of beer. It is a fair indication of the hour to follow.

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.
