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

In plain black t-shirt and pants, a microphone in his right hand, it’s cord wrapped several times around a veined fist. He speaks quickly. Real quick. Sliding in references to his history, his youth, his bands, his friends, punk rock, pop culture, politics.

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

The production values are lavish, the direction is slick, the score is terrific and the performances are excellent. Furthermore, it provides an opportunity to see the superlative Anthony Warlow.

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.
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.
