Interview: Director Gary Abrahams on Yentl. “Sometimes you need to be self destructive to become who you’re meant to be.”
I got to have a brief chat with director Gary Abrahams who took a break from directing his new play to answer some of my questions about Yentl at the Sydney Opera House.

Ruins أطلال (Belvoir 25a) ★★★★
It’s quite rare that I watch a piece of independent theatre and leave pondering its beauty.
-
Frankenstein (Theatre Royal) ★★★★
This is wide-screen theatre with an almost computer game sensibility to storytelling… and it’s a lot of fun.
-
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.
-
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.
