With this production pulling the queer-coded subtext out into the spotlight, it’s clear that this “secret love’s no secret anymore.”

For many Fiji is a holiday destination for sun, beaches and friendly locals, but for Akanisi has some tough decisions she has to face.
-
Rent (Sydney Opera House) ★★★★★
This is Rent done right: a must-see.
-
The Talented Mr Ripley (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★

-
Heaven (Qtopia) ★★★½
Heaven is a later-in-life tale of self-discovery firmly rooted in character.
