The concept of A Trivial Pursuit is great but the execution is not. It has ideas and moments that I like (as well as a really good set), but the writing, direction, and acting could all use some improvement.


Both a war story and a love story, Boundary Street is most importantly a true story, which examines one of the conveniently overlooked facets of Brisbane's involvement in the Second World War.

It's humorous, heartwarming, heartbreaking (but only a little), and, most importantly, it's a lot of fun.

The show was certainly hard to fault; the fifty production students and fourteen acting students having created a chic and well-oiled production of professional standard.

La Soirée is packed with acts designed to thrill, tease and titillate, all while maintaining a classiness and self deprecating humour that is just enough to keep the audience connected to reality.

Happy Ending was enjoyable on a shallow level. The cringe-worthy moments however became almost too much to bear.
Imagine the love-child of a menage a trois between, mmm, I don't know, maybe Sondheim, Midler & Minchin. You're getting close to the unpredictable versatility and prodigy of Collis' songwriting. She's a fine and powerful singer; she has comic sensibility that even transcends opening night nerves and can seamlessly shift from ridicule to rending of the heart. To top it all off, she's her very own musical director, banging a box with the kind of underlying finesse that suggests intensive formal training.
