Cath Styles has invited around a few of her comedic besties and they’re having an open party every night, with everyone invited.

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose nudity and fluids flung around in close confinement. Choose a brilliant, brutal Scottish theatre adaption of Irvine Welsh’s zeitgeist 1993 tome.

The audience are chattering happily as they take their seats on the bus, like school kids going on an excursion. The bus isn’t taking us to a show, however, the bus ride IS the show.

We – mostly in our rigid bodies – see bodies all day long but never really see them reaching for their full potential, this physical exploration, and that's why this is such a visual feast. These six performers are our physical potential realised. And it's magical stuff.

Koyaanisqatsi is a Hopi word for 'life in chaos, life needing to change, crazy life', a perfect description of the current state of affairs when it comes to climate change, environmental degradation and the cancer that is neo-liberal capitalism.

The Book of Mormon
It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.
My Brilliant Career | Melbourne Theatre Company
Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.
Cluedo The Play
Cluedo is an energetically performed ensemble farce that either toyed with surprising us, or missed opportunities to do so.
Afterglow | Midnight Theatricals
However earnest and inarguably lovely it is to look at, the pedestrian sexual indulgence and relationship traumas of New York 'A' gays penned 9 years ago doesn't feel particularly urgent.
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.
Now playing Melbourne
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.
It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
