The Book of Kevin pleases on all fronts. Simply in terms of performances, it’s brilliant. The impersonations of Kevin Rudd and Bob Carr are spot-on, with every last little detail observed and preserved in the performance.

This concert was a fine showcase for the Omega Ensemble, which to my mind can take its place with the Song Company and Pinchgut Opera as musical endeavours brought about by brilliant directors.

It is ten years since Casey Bennetto first wrote Keating! Since its humble beginnings it has grown to become a crowd favourite and is still winning over new audiences today.

Some wags might think The Canterbury Tales is the arse end of a Bulldog, but a production bearing that name currently being presented at New Theatre is rather a bowdlerized version of Chaucer's capering collection of bawdy social commentary.

Where else could you sit and listen to off-the-richter-scale jazz/funk/soul/reggae/bluegrass/hip-hop/electro-couplings of notable audacity, order an egg and bacon burger for $6 and be part of a beautiful vintage town for three full days and four nights? Beautiful Bellingen, that’s where!

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.
As You Like It | Fingerless Theatre
Wit and beauty, pride and sorrow, self disgust and merriment
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.
At Home at the Zoo luxuriates in the intensity of Albee’s ferocious humour, mood and impulse, a plunge into loneliness and aloneness leavened by laughter.
