The script is packed with scintillating word play and top notch one liners. Our dynamic duo are appointed to engage Hamlet in conversation and determine the nature of his madness so indeed, words are all they have to go on.

God love the ACO. It never disappoints. The latest tour, Barefoot Fiddler, is no exception. The inspiration for such is guest artistic director and lead violinist, Patricia Kopatchinskaja who, true to form, plays shoelessly.

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.

As You Like It | Fingerless Theatre
Wit and beauty, pride and sorrow, self disgust and merriment
My Brilliant Career | Sydney Theatre Company

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.
