There was a palpable sense of occasion in the foyer of the Sydney Opera House Drama theatre on opening night of Bangarra’s new work Bennelong.

This is a chilling thunderbolt of a production and yet the viewer is still left with some reservations. The first half seems a little rushed if you are overly familiar with the story.

Director Rachel Chant has a firm handle on this production although fewer pregnant pauses and a little faster on the pedal should make The Village Bike an even more exhilarating ride.

With a title that evokes Hollywood melodrama movies, especially from the Forties and Fifties, Only Heaven Knows certainly takes its tropes from time honoured thematics.

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.
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.
Contradiction, conundrum, conflict, racism, misogyny and homophobia run through this play like a main circuit cable snaking through a moral minefield of explosive allegation.
Uked! is a sing along, string along, immersive jukebox musical, that's more folksy balladeering than an all out, all that jazz razzmatazz.
