Counting & Cracking (Belvoir) ★★★★★
Not that Counting & Cracking needs another five star review this late in its lifespan – but I’m happy to give it one for posterity.
-
Sunset Strip (New Theatre) ★★★
Misery loves company, and Suzie Miller’s Sunset Strip sees two sisters deal with their own pain in different ways.
-
Dracula (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★
Sydney Theatre Company’s Dracula isn’t just theatre, it’s an event and a milestone.
-
![[Your Name] (KXT on Broadway) ★★★★](https://culturalbinge.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/untitled-design-55.jpeg?w=1024)
[Your Name] (KXT on Broadway) ★★★★
It’s horny, fumbling, silly and strangely emotional – kind of like watching the early years of Tumblr being brought to life on stage.
-
Chicago (Capitol Theatre) ★★★½
As great as the ol’ girl is… has she run out of steam?
-
Stolen (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★½
It is simply impossible to watch Stolen without a sense of sadness and rage brewing within you.
-
Switzerland (Ensemble Theatre) ★★★½
I can’t imagine the team at Ensemble Theatre knew that Netflix would drop its long anticipated ‘Ripley’, a new adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s ‘The Talented Mr Ripley’ at the same time as they had programmed Joanna Murray-Smith’s play Switzerland but synchronicity is a wonderful thing.

London: The Plays (Part One)
The Hills of California ★★★1/2 / Machinal ★★★★ / Minority Report ★★★ / People, Places and Things ★★★★★ I saw a wide variety of plays from big West End blockbusters to fringe two-handers. As always, more money and bigger names doesn’t always mean it’s a better show.
-
Groundhog Day: The Musical (Princess Theatre) ★★★★★
This Australian production of Groundhog Day is the best the show has ever been, and that’s because of one brilliant performer… Elise McCann.
-
Homos, or Everyone in America (New Theatre) ★★★
What makes gay relationships different to straight ones? Set around the peak time of the fight for marriage equality in the US, Homos, or Everyone in America looks at tug of war between hetero-normative coupling, polyamory and what life for a gay couple is like once things become equal.
