The Cake Man is a seminal piece of Indigenous theatre, and this production at Belvoir St does Robert J Merritt’s classic script proud. It is a difficult play to watch, but an important one.

Frenetic and boisterous, the show is staged with little in the way of set or props, but a lot of very exuberant and uproarious performances, the strong ensemble cast mostly making meals of their characters.

It's hard to know what to say about Emma Matthews that mightn't have been reflected before. Suffice to say, to restate the obvious, hers is a soaring, self-assured coloratura of the highest and finest order.

Compass at ATYP is some really good theatre for young people. It’s smart, funny, and thought-provoking.

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.

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.
