The Shiralee (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★

A cast of STC all-stars, and a brilliant STC debut, make The Shiralee a feast for lovers of great performances.

Be gay, do crimes.

Don’t be put off by the title; while it meditates on grief, it’s also quite fun, albeit in a dark way.

Frankly, this is fantastic work.

This is not a feel-good night at the theatre, but this production highlights some exciting onstage talent.

Emerald City deserves its place in Sydney’s theatrical canon.

We already know the ‘who’, ‘when’, ‘what’ and ‘where’ of events; what remains unknown is the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of their relationships.

Taylor Mac’s Hir, now over a decade old, remains startlingly ahead of its time.

David Harrower’s acclaimed, intense 2005 play, Blackbird, won’t be for everyone.

This is a feel-good story of healing.
