Mary Maclane is fierce – fiercely independent, fiercely defiant, fiercely original. She is constantly yearning, constantly unsatisfied with her lot, constantly craving something she can't quite name.

Les Liaisons Dangereuses | Sydney Theatre Company

Outstanding as all the performances in this show were (and I'd be hard-pressed to pick a fault in any of them), the real star of Les Liaisons Dangereuses is Sam Strong's direction.

In a year of very strong productions at Belvoir so far, this new work, Every Breath has been highly anticipated. It is the debut play by outstanding director, Benedict Andrews and heralds the long awaited return to the stage of the very brilliant John Howard.

Stephen Hopley seems to have something of an obsession with horror; dark themes; theatre of the absurd. Even his Shakespearean outings seem to draw on these predilections. And that's ok with me.

If you can recall the time where you made your parents drive you to-and-from Saturday sport, every single Saturday, then they deserve a night out (with you) to go and see this quaint modern Australian musical.

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.
