The Lewis Trilogy (Griffin) ★★★★1/2
This is glorious! By staging all three parts of Louis Nowra’s The Lewis Trilogy together, Griffin gives us a snapshot of the darker side of Australian lives lurking just under the laughs. Something about that feels quintessentially Griffin!

Shitty (Belvoir 25a) ★★★★
What’s more horrific than turning 30 and looking for love?

The Inheritance, Parts 1 & 2 (Forty Five Downstairs) ★★★★
The Inheritance, is a sprawling epic, very loosely based on EM Forster’s Howards End. It was lauded in London, but dismissed on Broadway, in Melbourne it’s back to being adored once more.

Midnight Murder at Hamlington Hall (Ensemble) ★★★1/2
Midnight Murder at Hamlington Hall isn’t the first play to derive comedy from a night at the theatre going wrong before your eyes, but it may be the first to do so with such a tender heart.
