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

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.
