Oklahoma | The Production Company
I walked into the State Theatre with high expectations for Oklahoma based on my previous experience with The Production Company’s work, and they certainly delivered with this production.
Melbourne Reviews
Slapstick and verbal wit pulled together with impeccable direction and comic timing make for a witty piss take of Melbourne’s literary world, so familiar to its audience.

The Pillowman | Patalog Collective
The interrogating police officers in Martin McDonagh’s The Pillowman ask some exceedingly graphic questions, and like the play itself, the journey to unravelling answers is abundantly confronting.
This new production of The Wizard of Oz by Andrew Lloyd Webber retains all of the classic elements that anyone familiar with the 1939 film would hope to see, while subtly updating the story for a more contemporary audience and cleverly incorporating some visual wizardry of it's own.
It’s a tumultuous cloud of life-changing decision that descends on many women as their 30s roll-out. To be a mother or not to be – that is the question?
The play pares down Peter Carey's Bliss to produce an entertaining three-hour show, with plenty of onstage shenanigans.
It's difficult to determine who the real star is in this piece; the exquisite writing, or the equally perfect performance. That both are the work of the same person... truly impressive stuff.

Hungry Ghosts | Melbourne Theatre Company
Described as a post traumatic play, Hungary Ghosts is both complex and challenging. While conscious in its use of multiple characters and threads, commentary on national themes does give echo to a central, more personal narrative around culture, loss, belonging, patriotism and identity.
