This play by English enfant terrible, Nick Payne is a canny choice by the Tasmanian Theatre Company.
Tasmania
A play about George Orwell, sailing and danger.
The play zigzags between moments of real pathos, laughter, the farther reaches of psychological motivation and plain old-fashioned gross-out slapstick.
Antarctica the musical has some very important, relevant information to convey to audiences. It tries to find a place within the genre to get the messages across while being essentially entertaining, and without being too dry or “preachy”.
An all local cast of musicians, singers and dancers graced the stage of The Peacock theatre in the Salamanca Arts Centre to present Cabaret Showcase as part of Hobart’s Festival of Voices.
We think we’re safe in “the west” from the atrocities that happen elsewhere; the war, the poverty, the displacement. To deal with the Devil seems just as unlikely, until it happens.
Whether you lived through the 80's as an adult, grew up in the decade or were born since, you will be chuckling in your seat (or possibly shaking your head) in the happy, nostalgic mood that the songs and fashions of the 80s seem to carry with them.
Legs, Elbows, Lips is a marvellously rich depiction of romantic relationship gone wrong – or perhaps just a romantic relationship; perhaps the play is saying that all romantic relationships go wrong. Or that going wrong is somehow right?

Kurios | Cirque du Soleil
Given what an immense and perpetual global franchise Cirque du Soleil has become, it must be quite a challenge to keep coming up with new themes while still attempting to conform to a vague unifying style that maintains the brand.
Anthem | Melbourne International Arts Festival
There’s a great deal happening in Anthem, a cross section of humanity meets and the differing opinions and cultures make for great people watching.
Diaspora | Chamber Made and Robin Fox
Diaspora offers the audience a vision of a distant imagined future and wow, what a vision it is!
High Performance Packing Tape | Branch Nebula
The banal is made dangerous in this one man DIY circus.
Rite of Spring | Yang Liping Contemporary Dance
It’s a complicated, fussy work, visually powerful and conceptually cumbersome. While it does not fully hold together, Rite of Spring’s design and spectacle make for a unique experience if viewers are happy to just let it all wash over them and not worry about connecting all the dots.
