Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, everybody’s fine four fendered friend, has finally flown into Brisbane’s Lyric Theatre and it’s guaranteed to be the number one ‘fantasmagorical’ show to take the whole family to this summer.

The Sydney Shakespeare Festival's production of King Lear is solid, if somewhat unadventurous. While the first half drags a little, the second makes up for it, the relentless action driving this classic play towards its bloodbath of a conclusion.

Vere (Faith) is an absolute tour de force. Sarah Goodes has directed a stunning production of John Doyle’s play, and it is beautifully performed by a stellar ensemble cast. This is one of the best shows I have seen this year.

Summertime in the Garden of Eden is an utterly fabulous work of theatre. It’s a perfect way to close out Griffin’s 2013 season.

It’s a while since I’ve heard an audience gasp in shock at a character’s actions onstage but the depths of sibling bastardry portrayed in Felix Nobis’s Boy Out of The Country certainly hit the spot.

Robert Reid has taken the events surrounding the toppling of Kevin Rudd and made them into a play, the second of Five Pound Theatre's five week repertory season at The Owl and the Pussycat.

If there is a good musical version of Carrie extant, it is not this one – it’s easy to see why this was a Broadway flop.
