The Normal Heart (Sydney Theatre Co) ★★★★★

This is what I go to the theatre for.

Thanks to a sharp script and strong performances, the show ultimately shines through its own sometimes flawed execution.

Purpose comes to Sydney on the shoulders of a lot of expectation.

You simply could not pay me to be a twenty-something again.

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

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

There is tension in every step – physically and narratively.

Abdalla resists reducing conflict to simple binaries.

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