This is a beautifully written piece, the language segueing marvellously from ferocity to lyricism with the occasional detour through middle-class twaddle thrown in for good measure.

Theirs is a humour that relies on the shock of non sequiturs, of mad segues off into the unknown, a humour that encourages their audience to let their imaginations run wild.

This is a programme of neoclassical dance, a ‘back to basics’ production, without any glamorous tutus, headpieces or jewels to crowd the dancers’ athleticism.

Wow! It’s rare that a show elicits a one word exclamation of amazement, but The Burlesque Hour…More! does just that, so once more: Wow!

Miss (you) Melbourne is an evening of ladylike comedy promising to pay tribute to the spirited character of Melbourne, the city.

An excellent example of thoughtful and engaging community theatre, Le Corbusier’s Dream? is accurately described as a ‘play about Carlton in the 60s and Carlton today’.

A Beautiful Noise – The Neil Diamond Musical
A Beautiful Noise is a jukebox musical that imagines present-day Diamond looking back on his history.
GRIMM | Shake & Stir Theatre Co
Spells, rules and the fourth wall are consistently broken in this chaotic retelling of some of the Grimm Brother’s most famous fairy tales.
The Memory Mirror | G Luck Productions
This work regularly feels like a short story that has not been adequately shaped into a play
An Evening Without Kate Bush
Young efficiently managed various costume changes to transport us to different eras of the Bush legacy. The vocals are consistently of a high-quality, even through the demands of some very physical dancing to a backing track.
Hotsy-Totsy | 2026 Melbourne Fringe Festival
The show is aiming for silliness, and its successful realisation here is certainly a nice change of pace from the worries of the modern world.
