A living room floats like an island at Sydney Theatre Company’s Wharf 2 theatre – an arm chair, a fire place, a drinks trolley.

Cut Snake is an absolutely joyous show. It’s a hard show not to describe simply in superlatives. It is marvellous. It is spectacular. It is brilliant. And it is magical, because it is sincere.

We all know white people can't dance. But they seem to have at least as much fun doing just that, regardless. Tragic, but true. The older they get, the funnier it is.

Dawson and McCarthy are witty at times and ragingly bitter and daring at others. It’s a play of extremes, an emotional roller coaster that demands a lot from its audience in terms of its complexity and intensity.

This production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is frustratingly close to excellence. It is absolutely worth seeing and contains some moments of absolute brilliance, but as a whole, it just falls short.

The PACT Centre For Emerging Artists amounts to a city-fringe warehouse where almost anything can and does happen.

Ai-yi-yi! Nicholas Kazan's Blood Moon, in its Australian premiere, is by no means a bad play. At least, it needn't be. But, regrettably (and much as it pains me to say it), in this incarnation from Unpathed Theatre Company, it could easily be mistaken for one.

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.
