-
Emerald City (Ensemble) ★★★
Emerald City deserves its place in Sydney’s theatrical canon.
-
Betrayal (Old Fitz) ★★★★
We already know the ‘who’, ‘when’, ‘what’ and ‘where’ of events; what remains unknown is the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of their relationships.
-
Hir (New Theatre) ★★★½
Taylor Mac’s Hir, now over a decade old, remains startlingly ahead of its time.
-
Blackbird (KXT on Broadway) ★★★
David Harrower’s acclaimed, intense 2005 play, Blackbird, won’t be for everyone.
-
Primary Trust (Ensemble) ★★★½
This is a feel-good story of healing.
-
Instructions for Correct Assembly (Flight Path) ★★★½
Parenting is hard. But what if you could build the perfect child from scratch and program it as you go?
-
Coriolanus (Bell Shakespeare) ★★★★
After a few years of relying on the big-hitting classics, it’s refreshing to see Bell Shakespeare bringing us one of the Bard’s lesser-staged works.
-
Mary Jane (Old Fitz) ★★★★
This is pure theatre—a great text combined with sympathetic acting—storytelling at its best.
-
The Birds (Malthouse) ★★★
Forget Alfred Hitchcock’s classic cinematic thriller. Forget Daphne du Maurier’s original story. Louise Fox has taken the frightening premise of an avian revolt against humanity and placed it in Australia.
-
And Then There Were None (Theatre Royal) ★★★
Ten strangers are invited to a secluded island mansion under false pretences. Once assembled, a pre-recorded voice accuses each of them of murder. But who is the mysterious Mr UN Owen who brought them all here? And who is killing them off, one by one?
