Overwhelmingly, the semblance of narrative plays second fiddle to bigger ideas, feelings and observations. It's painterly: big, broad splashes of colour, redolent of universal struggles.

Billed as a multicultural romantic comedy, its focus, to take a racial tally, is on two Asians, an Indian, a Greek, a Jew and an Aussie. Predictably enough, they walk into a bar ('what is this, some kinda joke?!')

The Lark | Hey Dowling
Noni Hazlehurst brings Rose and The Lark to colourful and compelling life in this one-woman show.

Uked! | Bondi Theatre Company
Uked! is a sing along, string along, immersive jukebox musical, that's more folksy balladeering than an all out, all that jazz razzmatazz.

Heartbreak Hotel | EBKM
Heartbreak Hotel invites its audience into an intimate portrait of the universal and isolating experience of heartbreak.
