Running at 70 mins, the play is compact and fast paced, but doesn’t sacrifice the depth of the original.

Mueller has a significant level of sophistication in what he is writing and there is a heart amongst the witty quips.

Turns is a theatrical experiment that does not quite fail, but isn’t much closer to being a rousing success either.

Don Parties On is not a great play, but it is a good one, and perhaps in its own way, a little bit special. It is a sequel inextricably tied to its original, and yet in saying that it is a creditable 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.
