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!

Director Thomas De Mallet Burgess and Conductor Erin Helyard finely balance the requirements of an original – newly discovered – score with the dramatic needs of a contemporary production. The results are superb.

Fleet of foot, full of laughs and plenty of pathos, the play beats with the heart of a champion that unfurls to fur flying finale where the money’s on the bunny and a rudimentary redemption makes a claim.

Justin Burford doesn’t simply cover Cobain, he embodies him in a mimetic show which fuses storytelling and music to extraordinary effect.

What do you do when you’ve outgrown Sesame Street, where each day is brought to you by a different letter of the alphabet with upmost certainty? You move to the ambiguous adult world of Avenue Q.

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.
A small miracle of a play, Happy Feraren’s Savior is a sharp and sweeping satire on the sometimes-self-serving ignobility of sleek American NGOs.
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.
