Angry Young Women & Mile High

Together these two plays make a delightful double bill, which would make a fun girl’s night out, but an uncomfortable choice for a first date.

James and the Giant Peach | new theatre

This is a story of Giant ambitious proportions, of wild imagination, geographic & scientific abandonment and rollicking audience participation.

Blackbird | Sydney Theatre Company

Don’t be put off by the subject matter of child abuse in David Harrower’s Blackbird. Moral sensitivities aside, this Laurence Olivier Award winning play is intriguing and challenging

: Helen Barry; 20 December 2007

Halpern & Johnson | Ensemble Theatre

McDonald and Szeps are brilliant as they break through the wall of the audience’s ‘Mother and Son’ baggage to bring to life two very different and endearing characters.

Billy Elliot the Musical

Anyway which way you look at it, Billy Elliot the Musical is as timely as it is well made.

Chopper's F*ckin Christmas Bingo | Laughing Stock Productions

Chopper's F*ckin Chrismas Bingo | Laughing Stock Productions

Spun off one of the character’s earliest sketches in which Chopper incongruously hosts a bingo night, this is a Yuletide show with a difference.

: Eliza Eggler; 08 December 2007

Juditha Triumphans | Pinchgut Opera

Religious persecution, military domination and the clash of cultures are themes that resonate strongly today

: Jack Teiwes; 07 December 2007

The Colour of August | Purple Mustache Productions

This production has been touted as being about “covert lesbians”, but that seems an overly simplistic label for the convoluted relationship presented.
