While all things are meant to be fair in love and war, they aren’t. Yet that doesn’t stop these two timeless x-treme sports sharing many similarities.

Carriageworks is a fantastic venue, and like many others I have often been inspired by the unique foyer spaces on previous visits. To see the whole place come alive for Night Time is truly invigorating.

Although sometimes plays with fractured or otherwise de-emphasised plotting can be thoroughly entertaining, I found the narrative here to be highly unengaging.

This is Andrew Morrish, a performer full of random gestures, unlikely contradictions and bizarre impulses

Michael Craig, ably assisted, as it were, by a charming performance from Catherine McGraffin, goes out with a bang in this deservedly lauded American play

Tender is an emotional revelation, wherein the narrative is, ultimately, incidental to its thorough and gentle expositions of the nature, and character, of love, loss, grief, memory, resilience & relationships

Seasoned entertainer Issi Dye has been doing his one-man tribute to the legendary Al Jolson since 1999, and in the 600-plus performances he has made on tour he has evidently refined his act to the point where it is so convincing that seeing him out of character can be quite a jolt.

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.
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.
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.
