Theatre – Cultural Binge

The Girl’s Guide to Saving the World (Old Fitz) ★★★½

Twenty-something insecurities hit home in Elinor Cook’s funny The Girl’s Guide to Saving the World.

Maybe it’s time we started re-examining John Patrick Shanley’s work a little more closely.

Mama Does Derby brings roller derby into the Sydney Town Hall… sorta.

There is tension in every step – physically and narratively.

Born on a Thursday delivers some hard family truths, anchored by a seamlessly powerful performance from Sharon Millerchip.

Almost ten years on from the play’s debut (at the old KXT, as part of the Sydney Fringe 2016), this Atlantis has risen again.

Bigger, louder and flashier, The Lovers rivals & Juliet for the Pop Shakespeare crown.

Yes, it’s true, the cast are completely nude — but it’s not just a naked cry for attention, at least not in the way you think it is.
