And Then There Were None (Theatre Royal) ★★★
Ten strangers are invited to a secluded island mansion under false pretences. Once assembled, a pre-recorded voice accuses each of them of murder. But who is the mysterious Mr UN Owen who brought them all here? And who is killing them off, one by one?

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

Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (Hayes) ★★★★
If chu only see one musical in Sydney this week. Make sure chu choose Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.

I & You (Belvoir 25a) ★★★½
It’s the most YA of YA plots—you could probably rename Lauren Gunderson’s 2014 teen romance I and You something like The Fault in Our Star Turtles (you’ll get it when you see the show).
-
Happy Days (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★
Happy Days is a reminder to address the elephants in the room—before it’s too late.

Abigail Williams (HERStory Arts Festival) ★★★★
Terrific script, terrific staging, and a powerful performance. Abigail Williams is well worth exploring.
-
Posh (Old Fitz) ★★★★½
