The best night of theatre ever, this. It’s a terrific experience to see a Shakespeare play in an as near to an authentic environment as possible without going all the way to modern London, it's like a time travelling experience.

You’re sitting in a room at the North Melbourne Town Hall, a bare room room with two musicians harmonising sweet, whimsical tunes. Enter Wil Greenaway.

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

The Brut Truth: A Champagne Comedy Tasting | Prétentieux vin Branleur
It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
There is a lot to love about this show; the cast are strong, and the onstage band who interact in the main diner setting is a fun touch.
