Vivacious! | Australian Chamber Orchestra

I can't imagine hearing a cleaner, more committed or vigorous exposition, than that bestowed by Ibragimova's ACO.

Details: Jack Teiwes; 22 August 2008

It takes a certain amount of guts (and ego) to do a solo show that relies almost entirely on one’s storytelling abilities.

The play slides from naturalism into surrealism so gently that you hardly notice

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

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.
Cadaver Synod | NIDA and bAKEHOUSE Theatre Co
Blind faith and rational belief are always sparring partners in dramatic conflict and so it is here with the power play tinged with superstition and salaciousness.
