Sorry I’m Late (Sydney Fringe)
It’s impossible to discuss without spoilers and it’s much better to go in knowing nothing.
-
How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying (Hayes) ★★½
The new production of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying opts for a shallow, simple reading.
-
Heathers: The Musical (Roslyn Packer) ★★★★
Could it be that Heathers: The Musical is actually, genuinely good? Well f*ck me gently with a chainsaw!
-
Return of the Godz (Sydney Fringe) ★★★★
Yes, it’s the Return of the Godz — they’re back and they’re ready to party.
-
Magic and Sphen: The unofficial story of Sydney’s gayest penguins, or, the gay penguin play (Flight Path) ★★★½
Apart from having the best title of any play this year, Magic & Sphen manages to also possibly be the most adorable.
-
Strategic Love Play (Flight Path) ★★★½
Two singles drop the pretence to get what they really want… but will it actually work?
-
Equus (KXT) ★★★★
This is what Sydney theatre needs more of and marks Brockman as a director of note.
-
Lacuna (Griffin Lookout) ★★★★
Take a trip down memory lane, literally, in the high-concept queer heist that is Lacuna.
-
Top Silk (Ensemble) ★★½
Ensemble plays things by-the-book with a staid revival of David Williamson’s 80s domestic/legal drama Top Silk.
-
Fiddler on the Roof (Theatre Royal) ★★★★
Is it a “wonder of wonders,” a “miracle of miracles,” as the London critics thought?
