Righteousness is like a concrete bunker, which is both a safe place to live and also provides evidence that the outside world may not be such a safe place to live.

A Clockwork Orange | Action To The Word

Time to enter the world of Alex De Large (Martin McCreadie) and his Droogs for lashings of the ole ultra-violence, right right?

Stories I Want To Tell You In Person | Belvoir

Lally calls Stories I Want to Tell You in Person “play”, but it is more of a spoken word performance where Lally relates a series of anecdotes about her life and writing process.

It's My Party (And I'll Die If I Want To) | HIT Productions

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.
