-
The Female of the Species (Old Fitz) ★★★½
The Female of the Species, is filled with laughs with a literate edge, poking fun at celebrity intellectuals, feminism, gullible consumers and turn of the century gender politics.
-
Sunday (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★★
Like its lead character, Sunday Reed, the play has opinions and is more than happy to share them.

Flat Earthers: The Musical (Griffin/Hayes) ★★½
What threw me was the fact this was a co-production between Hayes and Griffin, leading me to expect something with a slightly higher IQ than what we get.

Well-Behaved Women (Belvoir) ★★★½
Songwriter Carmel Dean pokes fun at the patriarchy and heaps praise on some key stories of female rebels, iconoclasts, champions and quiet achievers throughout time.
-
Seventeen (Seymour Centre) ★★★
It’s the duality that makes Seventeen something special.
-
All Boys (KXT on Broadway) ★★★★
As a piece of independent theatre, All Boys is instantly impressive. For a budget-tight show full of debuts and recent drama school grads it is extraordinary. This is just great theatre.

Too Human (KXT on Broadway) ★★½
Part ‘Percy Jackson’, part 80s teen sex farce, Too Human is funny as long as you don’t think about it too deeply.
