Australian – Cultural Binge – Independent Theatre Reviews

Skank Sinatra: The Name on Everybody’s Lips (Qtopia) ★★★½

Ol’ Blue Thighs is back, and she’s serving Broadway with a slice of skank.

There are big questions lurking just underneath the battered skin of this sporting drama and it’s a rich field to play in.

I say this as both a theatre reviewer and as a producer of reality TV cooking shows – this is a must see.

The hype is real, and the reality more than lives up to it.

Sheltering shows that legacy can form a strong foundation for the future.

Jesus — or is that J.E.S.U.S. — takes the wheel in Happy Feraren’s deliciously funny disaster comedy.

The show mistakes atmosphere for meaning.

Agony is an entertaining and genuinely interesting work from a writer with a solid comic sensibility and real emotional intelligence.

Sistren is frenetic, original and addictively entertaining.

To see two of Australia’s great companies move together with such fluency is quietly thrilling.
