Peter Evan's production of Romeo & Juliet, his inaugural show as the new artistic director of Bell Shakespeare is a Doake and dagger affair.

Although the bad-taste creature-feature parody angle of the show’s subject matter may not be to the taste of the My Fair Lady crowd, this is a cracker of a show for those who want the chance to see an excellent smaller production

What a fascinating program. The Song Company, under the musical direction of their new leader Antony Pitts, sang three Bach motets alongside choral music from the 19th century which specifically reflected Bach’s influence.

The Blind Giant is Dancing conjures an image of an enormous, unwieldy, dangerous and mischievous creature, set to cause havoc. Is the giant capitalism or is it the self doubt in us that drives the need for approbation and power, whatever the cost?

All My Love is a misfortunate love story that spans not only time but the earth itself. It is a slow story of a love that was cut short by a meddling mother.

The heart of the work derives from a series of revealing monologues peppered throughout the piece, that have been drawn from interviews with men and women from Broome and environs.

A confluence of errors – certainly not a comedy – made my viewing of Illuminate Educate's production of Life Without Me by Daniel Keene at the Reginald Theatre in the Seymour Centre, truncated, to say the least.

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.
