Chekov. Bell. Blanchett. Gore. Roxburgh. Weaver. Weaving. Not to mention Anthony Phelan and relative newcomer Hayley McElhinney (hey, I said relative). Can you go wrong? Not really. Well, certainly not far.

What this story may lack in terms of climax and crescendo it certainly makes up for in well-textured and captivating characterisation.

It's far from explosive. Instead, it's utterly conventional. That brings good with bad. And, perhaps, at certain moments, a little bit of ugly.

Rhinestone Rex & Miss Monica | Ensemble Theatre

Funny and discomfiting, occasionally sweet but more often just bitter (and certainly never bittersweet), Rhinestone Rex & Miss Monica could best be described as a romantic comedy for those who don’t really like romantic comedies.

It’s the uncommon understatement that distinguishes and elevates their music, which is to be expected: this is a veritable Australian jazz supergroup.

Whether new to klezmer, or weaned on it, Klezmer Connexion is one of the best, most accessible vehicles to initiate or continue your connection.

The wild west, the west of folklore and dreams, and the “true” west of ’80s America mingle and merge impeccably in this outstanding production that goes above and beyond all the hype to achieve something that’s truly extraordinary.

Not Quite Out of the Woods | The Wharf Revue

The cast and co-creators are uniformly uproarious, with every sketch taking gleeful aim at the various foibles and follies of their targets, each playing many different parts.

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.
