Flicking the Flint

review

Sue Benner Theatre

After claiming a few days ago that Brisbane has produced high-quality theatre so far this year, Flicking the Flint loudly contradicts me.

The Barber of Seville

Athenaeum Theatre

Melbourne Opera’s treatment of this sterling classic recalls the combination of broad comedy and gorgeous music of the Simon Gallagher/John English productions of Gilbert & Sullivan operettas.

Merthyr Road Uniting Church

Nash’s Casablanca takes the audience back to the days of classic radio drama, when the airways were the hub of family entertainment.

Regent Theatre

Melbourne may not have needed another production of Cats, but it seems we wanted one.

Pippin

Rivergum Theatre

How was this possible that we were going to see a show that we both knew was a Broadway success and not even be able to name at least one song we were going to hear?

Speaking in Tounges

Strathmore Community Centre

STAG have made a valiant effort in bringing Bovell’s intricate labyrinth to life to kick off their 2010 season. While there were some strong performances, a few inconsistencies in some of the production elements made for an uneven performance.

With the title Another Opening, Another Show you could be forgiven for thinking you’re in for a night of tired Broadway classics, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Songs For A New World

review
Venue: 
The Doncaster Playhouse

PEP are relatively new kids on the block and it's easy to forget this is only their forth year of existence.

Madagascar

review
Reviewer: 

The opening lines in this play, by exciting new American playwright J.T. Rogers, explain that of the many people who go missing each year a certain percentage actually choose to disappear and a large number of those do not wish to be found again. This is a difficult situation to accept for the family and friends left behind, and it’s as such we find our three characters in Madagascar, haunting a Roman hotel room and telling the tale of their reactions to the mysterious disappearance of a young man.
