A Midsummer Nights Dream | Yohangza Theatre Company

Yohangza Theatre Company, has not produced a traditional treatment of the play. Bearing from South Korean, they have infused the production with Korean mythology, theatrical techniques and an Eastern sensibility.

Kaidan: A Ghost Story

‘Total theatre’ will only work if all elements are strong, and indeed Meryl Tankard’s direction, choreography and design in Kaidan: A Ghost Story brings an explosive fusion of art-forms.

Lost and Found Orchestra | The Stomp Company

Lost and Found Orchestra, presented at the Sydney Festival by highly regarded British theatrical music company, The Stomp Company, is as joyful as it is inventive, as accessible as it is complex and as entertaining as it is original.

No Chance In Hell Hotel | Darlinghurst Theatre Company

Written by its stars, Kate Smith and Drew Fairley it’s a farce in which a lovelorn crippled cop and a pert, determined sidekick provide the hook on which to hang a tenuous thriller where love conquers all.

Redheads | Queensize Productions

Redheads follows the melodramatic lives of Ruth (Beth Champion) and Joanna (Emily Weare), two wannabe ‘twenty something’ spinsters who just want to feel loved.

Luxurious, romantic, beautiful and innocent, Raymonda is an intelligent and refreshing adaptation of Petipa’s original work.

Take an astute selection of top-drawer talents, mix with intelligence, fresh energy, an eye to the future and it's not surprising the results are better than pleasing.

Plays: By Himself | Tamarama Rock Surfers

The acting is most talented, but the real star here is Lawson’s writing. It is imaginative, hilariously self-referential, enjoyable and satisfying.
