Overall, there is a lot to like about this production of The Merchant of Venice. However, in its earnest desire to do something interesting and have fun with Shakespeare, it overshoots the mark.

Peter Evan's direction is slick and no-fuss, he focuses on the characters and their wish to propel the story. Dramaturgically, this is not man versus world, (nor society) by man versus himself.


Comedy meets pornography in this potentially heart warming, semi political cabaret, The Freak and The Showgirl.

On Richard Fry's first trip to Perth's Fringe world, he brings the incredible story of John Wayne in The Ballad of the Unbeatable Hearts.


Billed as Fresh out the Fringe, with a quote from the redoubtable Dave Callan which encouraged us to "Go see! I saw this production in Edinburgh and was in absolute stitches". I needed no encouragement to attend.
