Doubt: A Parable (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★★
It’s a Tony & Pulitzer Prize winning masterpiece, that’s a swift 90 minutes long. Do you need any more encouragement than that?
-

The Dapto Chaser (Ensemble) ★★★½
Why does the temptation to “flip the table” feel like it has a wider political resonance in 2026 than it did when the play debuted in 2011?
-

Juicy Riot (Eternity Playhouse) ★★★★
It was loud, proud and one hell of a crowd.
-

First, Do No Harm (KXT/NIDA) ★★★½
Great situation, great characters – this is a fantastic way to burst out the gates.
-

The Roommate (Ensemble) ★★★★
It’s just nice to sit back and enjoy an easy, funny, mild play that’s produced perfectly.
-

Straight Panic (ATYP)
Three short comedies combine to make up Straight Panic, the triptych of one-act plays by Lachlan Parry poking fun at the gays, the straights and most importantly, the 00s.
-

Mackenzie (Bell Shakespeare) ★★★★
It’s Macbeth, but done as a very dark teen comedy. And there are a few songs too (but it’s not a musical).
-

Anastasia (Sydney Lyric) ★★★★
Anastasia is here to sweep you up with its mix of luxurious costumes and stunning vocals.
-

Amplified: The Exquisite Rock & Rage of Chrissy Amphlett (Belvoir) ★★★★½
It’s a fine line between concert and cabaret. You’ve done it once, you can do it again.
-

Nowhere (Sydney Festival) ★★★★
Abdalla resists reducing conflict to simple binaries.
