The most striking and enchanting element of this production is the extensive use of puppetry to bring to life the menagerie of creatures Darwin rigorously studies on his journey, these remarkable visuals and complex scenic elements work in perfect balance with the focus on character, story, and one big, history-changing idea.

This retelling of an old tale is a joyful cacophony of pantomime whoops and theatrical hollas. The storyline is original allowing nostalgia to simmer gently yet expectations are challenged in wonderful and fabulous ways.

There’s two sides of every story and that's what we get here, two perspectives, two versions of the same tale, careening in out of corroboration until they collide with the truth.

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.
Doubt | Sydney Theatre Company
Contradiction, conundrum, conflict, racism, misogyny and homophobia run through this play like a main circuit cable snaking through a moral minefield of explosive allegation.
The Lark | Hey Dowling
Noni Hazlehurst brings Rose and The Lark to colourful and compelling life in this one-woman show.
The Can Principle | Jonny Pasvolsky
Following the unedifying edict that "there's a sucker born every minute", the show skewers the modern self-improvement economy in a piss-take parody of today's 'gurus' and snake-oil salesmen.
