Overall the sense of joie de vivre of the show is irrepressible. It’s still a great night out, though a little longer and a few more acts would keep the show fresh.

I won't pretend I know Cam or his band members. I plead ignorance. But if playing's any guide (and what else is, if not that), they've been around some.

Ordinary Days | Squabbalogic and Darlinghurst Theatre Company

This is a clever, witty, entertaining piece of musical theatre. It asks the audience to remember the simple things in life while reminding it of the challenges that lurk on every street corner.

Annie may not be to the taste of the uninitiated, but for young children and the legion of fans already familiar with the musical, this production is unlikely to disappoint.

Sarah Giles has directed a tight, caustic production that leaves a lasting impression (or possibly a scar).

Part one man-show, stand-up routine, theatre of the absurd, dance, improvisation and poignant drama, it is impossible to categorize but it is a wild and thrilling ride.

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.
