Lord Arthur Savile's Crime

Lord Arthur Savile’s Crime is based on an 1890s story by Oscar Wilde.

Lord Arthur Savile is engaged to the lovely Sybil Merton. His future mother-in-law, Lady Julia Merton, is less than enthusiastic about the match and employs her fortune-teller,

Mr Podgers, to read Lord Arthur’s palm to find out if there are any indiscretions in Arthur’s past and future. The fortune-teller confidentially tells Arthur that he sees murder ahead! Feeling duty bound and desiring a blissful married life, Lord Arthur decides – of course – that the only logical course of action is to get this dreadfully embarrassing act out of the way before his wedding in three weeks’ time. But staging the perfect murder proves not nearly as easy as he thought!

Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.
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 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.
The Lark | Hey Dowling
Noni Hazlehurst brings Rose and The Lark to colourful and compelling life in this one-woman show.

Middle Raged | Women with Pockets and Andrew Kay & Associates
Beautiful voices across the board, a lovely ease with one another, and enough self-awareness to never let the comedy become caricature.
The Book of Mormon
Once again we are treated to the door knocking, knee slapping, pearl clutching hilarity that has taken the world by storm and remained a popular success amongst the more devilish of us theatre patrons the world over.
Pretty Woman The Musical
Adapting a beloved film with the cultural status of 1990s Pretty Woman is a huge creative swing.
The Jungle and the Sea | Belvoir St Theatre
The Jungle and the Sea is one of the best pieces of theatre I have ever seen.
