The three young musicians who make up Golden Fur are not afraid of experimentation, and in the field of new music they can’t afford to be.

A Streetcar Named Desire is without a doubt the best production that I’ve seen all year, and theatregoers should beg borrow or steal their way into it.

A Woman in Berlin | Splinter Theatre Company

This is the sort of independent theatre that we need. A tight one-hander telling a poignant story in an intimate, largely restrained fashion and yet with a keen awareness of the theatrical.

Bad Jazz | Darlinghurst Theatre & square the circle

An acerbic comedy taking aim at the pretensions and dysfunctions of those who create theatre, Bad Jazz is a play that puts interesting ideas out there but ultimately has trouble getting much across.

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.
