Cruise (KXT on Broadway) ★★★★★
Jack Holden’s Olivier Award-nominated one-man play, Cruise, is a time-jumping, bar-hopping treasure that achieves in 90 minutes what The Inheritance takes almost seven hours to accomplish.
-
Wuthering Heights (Roslyn Packer) ★★★★
Iconic and iconoclastic, British director Emma Rice’s Wuthering Heights hits Sydney like a gale-force wind whipping across the moors.
-
4000 Miles (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★½
The reason you’ll want to see this is Shirong Wu’s show-stealing performance which breathes life into the sedate (and strangely knotty) plot.

Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen (Sydney Opera House) ★★★★½
Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen is less a play about a stand-up comic than it is a magic show in its own right.
-
Peter & the Starcatcher (Capitol Theatre) ★★★★
If, like me, you’re a sucker for fairy lights and the odd fart joke, you’ll love this Peter Pan prequel.
-
Aria (Ensemble) ★★★★
Aria seems like a broad comedy, but it could just as easily be a wildlife documentary.
-
Dark with Excessive Bright (Sydney Festival) ★★★★
A gorgeous afternoon of meditative music – the perfect reprieve from the summer humidity outside

Pride & Prejudice (Old Fitz) ★★½
This lo-fi adaptation of Jane Austen’s classic witty romance Pride & Prejudice has all the hallmarks of a fringe darling.
