-
Hillsong Boy (Sydney Fringe) ★★★½
The impulse to make this show a new form of “ministry” can be hard for a Hillsong survivor to resist.
-
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (Belvoir) ★★★★★
Belvoir doing what Belvoir does best.
-
Arlington (Seymour Centre) ★★★★
Arlington will be divisive – multiple people walked out of the opening night performance. That rarely happens
-
The Arrogance (KXT on Broadway) ★★★½
Olivia Clement’s The Arrogance is a gentle, and handsomely staged, look at the contradictions of abusive parents and the way adults deal with childhood trauma.
-
The Woman In Black (Theatre Royal) ★★★½
Cheap thrills and jump scares might not be the most sophisticated of theatrical outings, but there’s no denying the fun to be had.
-
The Past is a Wild Party (Qtopia) ★★★★
Queer lit collides with queer life in Noëlle Janaczewska’s one-woman show, The Past is a Wild Party.
-
Cost of Living (Sydney Theatre Co.) ★★★½
Cost of Living is not a play about inflation or Coles & Woolies gouging consumers. No, this is Martyna Majok’s 2018 Pulitzer Prize winning play about four people navigating complex physical, emotional and financial relationships.
-
swim (Griffin) ★★★½
In Ellen van Neerven’s swim everything is fluid. Memory, emotion and, of course, water.
-
Counting & Cracking (Belvoir) ★★★★★
Not that Counting & Cracking needs another five star review this late in its lifespan – but I’m happy to give it one for posterity.
-
Sunset Strip (New Theatre) ★★★
Misery loves company, and Suzie Miller’s Sunset Strip sees two sisters deal with their own pain in different ways.
