Dracula (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★
Sydney Theatre Company’s Dracula isn’t just theatre, it’s an event and a milestone.
-
Ink (New Theatre) ★★★★
Director Louise Fischer has taken an excellent script and worked wonders on a micro-budget.
-
King James (Old Fitz) ★★½
Two guys meet in a bar. It may sound like the set-up to a joke, but it’s not.
-
American Signs (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★
No one likes management consultants. Even management consultants don’t like management consultants. It takes a performer of unique empathy to make us care for The Consultant and thankfully Catherine Văn-Davies is dynamic in this one-person show.
-
Master Class (Ensemble) ★★★½
Famed soprano Maria Callas is played, mostly, for laughs in Terrence McNally’s Tony Award winning play, giving Lucia Mastrantone the chance to work the room and terrorise her fellow performers.
-
Stolen (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★½
It is simply impossible to watch Stolen without a sense of sadness and rage brewing within you.
-
dog (KXT on Broadway) ★★★
With little dialogue, and little plot driving the story, dog is not a comfortable watch.
-
POV (Belvoir 25a) ★★★★
The ever inventive re:group collective have arrived downstairs at Belvoir with POV, an experiment in blending theatre and documentary.
-
Never Closer (Belvoir) ★★★
Sharp characters, tight plotting and witty dialogue combine to deliver an almost watertight script. This production, transplanted from Belvoir’s smaller 25a programme, gets a bigger budget to play with and the result is a crowd pleaser.
-
Death of a Salesman (Theatre Royal Sydney) ★★★★½
The great tragedy of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman isn’t how it ends, it’s the fact it is still appallingly relevant.
