-
Alfred Kouris and Harry Stacey Bake a Cake (Old Fitz Late) ★★★★★
I say this as both a theatre reviewer and as a producer of reality TV cooking shows – this is a must see.
-
Prima Facie (Roslyn Packer) ★★★★★
The hype is real, and the reality more than lives up to it.
-
Sheltering (Bangarra) ★★★★
Sheltering shows that legacy can form a strong foundation for the future.
-
Tootsie (Teatro) ★★★½
Tootsie is an easy night at the theatre. It doesn’t bear thinking about too deeply.
-
Continuity (New Theatre) ★★★
Art clashes with commerce and climate change.
-
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (Hayes) ★★★★
Another big win for Hayes.
-
Edward Albee’s At Home At The Zoo (Flight Path) ★★★
For the theatrically minded, seeing this rare Albee on stage is a must.
-
Savior (Griffin) ★★★★
Jesus — or is that J.E.S.U.S. — takes the wheel in Happy Feraren’s deliciously funny disaster comedy.
-
Sonder (Old Fitz)
The show mistakes atmosphere for meaning.
-
Agony (KXT Underground)
Agony is an entertaining and genuinely interesting work from a writer with a solid comic sensibility and real emotional intelligence.
