Not only does this intelligent finely crafted piece of theatre make the global financial crisis intelligible, it also makes finance – dare I say it – fun!

A Complete History of Western Philosophy | Dave Bloustein

What I liked about him then, and this still is true, is that he is a joyful comic - sweet and friendly and slightly awkward - but the type of comic you want to hang out with and you want to laugh with.

If you're looking to unwind, let go, celebrate, unleash, or express, this is going to work a treat. You'll beat things, clap and sing. No, really, you will. It's fun to make noise.

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

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.
