Major Bang: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Dirty Bomb

A postmodern look at the post-September 11 culture of fear, in the face of very real terrorist threats and very surreal media hype

Considering its potentially heavy subject matter, this ensemble play is also surprisingly amusing.

This production of The Hypochondriac is one that will definitely have you laughing out loud, although it is a bit uneven at times.

Exit the King | Company B/Malthouse Theatre

“Exit the King” is a lesson in theatre. Every aspect and element of this production is of the highest standard I have seen this year.

How to be a Cloud and other life lessons

This delightful pair makes for a rewarding change to the consistent politically and socially topical comment that seems standard fare in today’s comedy delivered to shock and perhaps incense

Director Gale Edwards has produced a fascinating and compelling work with clear themes and filled with irresistible humour.

‘Dinner’ is quite a surprise, as always Moira Buffini gives her characters very sharp tongues and a taste for going over the top.

This is the debut play from Chaser collaborator Chris Taylor; and the level of sophistication makes you wonder would it be produced by STC if it weren’t for his notoriety

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
To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.
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.
