“Show people” are an interesting bunch, sometimes they come in the forms of a bohemian artist, or a naïve theatre school graduate, or perhaps a veteran of the stage with the hard-earned wisdom that only time can afford.

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
