werkaholics (Belvoir 25a) ★★
Some shows deliberately defy simple, clear interpretation and artfully invite the audience to discover meaning on their own terms. Some, like werkaholics, do none of those things.
-
Grief is the Thing With Feathers (Belvoir) ★★★★½
Don’t be put off by the title; while it meditates on grief, it’s also quite fun, albeit in a dark way.
-
Fewer Emergencies (Old Fitz) ★★★★½
Frankly, this is fantastic work.
-
The Book of Mormon (Capitol Theatre) ★★★★★
I had no intention of actually reviewing The Book of Mormon. So why am I writing this now? Because it was completely, filthily, fucking five-stars worth of brilliant!
-
Babyteeth (KXT on Broadway) ★★★
This is not a feel-good night at the theatre, but this production highlights some exciting onstage talent.
-
Emerald City (Ensemble) ★★★
Emerald City deserves its place in Sydney’s theatrical canon.
-
Betrayal (Old Fitz) ★★★★
We already know the ‘who’, ‘when’, ‘what’ and ‘where’ of events; what remains unknown is the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of their relationships.
-
Hedwig & the Angry Inch (Carriageworks) ★★★★★
Hedwig needs cabaret/rockstar energy, and Seann Miley Moore delivers.
-
Circle Mirror Transformation (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★
This gentle character comedy unveils itself at a careful pace, with a spacious script that allows five fantastic performances to fill the stage.
-
Hir (New Theatre) ★★★½
Taylor Mac’s Hir, now over a decade old, remains startlingly ahead of its time.
