Ride is a play about memory: about not remembering, about remembering too much, and ultimately, about remembering just enough to be satisfied.

Most read Sydney reviews

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.
The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
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.
Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels | Redfern Lane Productions
Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
Continuity | New Theatre
On the set of a big-budget Hollywood eco-thriller, the clock is ticking for an on time and under budget wrap.
