Anthony Skuse has directed a tour-de-force with On The Shore Of The Wide World. There is never a lull, never a moment where you get bored or distracted.

The Piper is some of the loveliest children’s theatre I have ever seen. It’s clever and charming and never condescending. Even though I’m not exactly the target audience, I was captivated by it. An absolute Sydney Festival highlight.

Wittenberg is a silly play for smart people. While it might be a little confusing for those who don't have a passing acquaintance with Shakespeare, Marlowe and/or Luther, for those who do, it's freaking hysterical.

Am I is at its most interesting when it starts to ask, at what point do we change from atoms into humans. The work touches on this without exploring it fully.

Pinchgut only perform one opera a year, but their production of Cavalli’s 17th century hit, Giasone, would make you think they played baroque opera constantly, so at ease was everyone with the style.

Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
Stage Kiss | New Theatre
There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
As You Like It | Fingerless Theatre
Wit and beauty, pride and sorrow, self disgust and merriment
My Brilliant Career | Sydney Theatre Company
Based on an Australian literature classic, My Brilliant Career is destined to become an Australian theatrical classic.
Sistren | Griffin Theatre Company
Iolanthe and Janet Anderson work in cosmic, comedic accord, characterisation charismatic, timing impeccable, delivery precise, together a tour de force that ascends the cliché.
In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
A small miracle of a play, Happy Feraren’s Savior is a sharp and sweeping satire on the sometimes-self-serving ignobility of sleek American NGOs.
