Film Review - NT Live: Much Ado About Nothing
Much Ado About Nothing, unlike the name suggests, actually packages up quite a few happenings before recounting them in a kaleidoscopic stage that seems to have a dozen or two aces tucked up its sleeve.
Live Performance Review - Stranger Sings! The Parody Musical
Once upon a time in Hawkins, Indiana, there lived a people chuffed with cliché. Their lives were a hit and their town never missed, what an unpleasant mess they’ve now found themselves in.
Live Performance Review - How Long is a Piece of String?
Before I knew it, I’d had a golden string tied around my wrist and I was sitting in a lecture, discerning the physics behind string theory. ‘Ah, a comedy science show’, I thought, ‘how quaint.’
Life Performance Review - Juniper Rising
She rose, she slayed, she conquered, but most importantly, she girlbossed.
Live Performance Review - Girls with Altitude by Flying Fruit Fly Circus
The Melbourne Arts Centre hosted an evening of delight as a 17-strong troop of up-and-coming starlets cracked wise and levitated before our eyes in spectacular fashion in Girls With Attitude.
Live Performance Review - Freaky Friday
What I was expecting from this night out at the theatre, was high energy, excitement, tenderness and maybe a few good one-liners. I can happily say, that’s exactly what I got.
Live Performance Review - The Marvellous Life of Carlo Gatti
Gripping through its lack of elaboration and enhanced by its creative solutions to keep the show afloat and on track, this one is great for a night of new experiences and audience participation.
Live Performance Review - My Self in That Moment by Chamber Made
This performance was something wholly unique, and beyond what can be provided in a cinema or on a streaming service.
Live Performance Review - YUMMY by ICONIC
The engine that is entirely driving this show is simply the desire to show off one’s most true self. It just so happens that this radical act of vulnerability is also set against an iconic Britney mega-mix. Run, don’t walk.
Live Performance Review - CLUB NITE
CLUB NITE showcases a night out where the three friends, a straight girl, a drug-dealing pansexual and a Berlin-loving bisexual, who all want to attend three separate well-known Melbourne hotspots - Yah Yahs, a house party, and a rave at Yarra bend.
Live Performance Review: Phantasmagoria
Phantasmagoria is a story of untreated grief and trauma, and the attempts we continually make to ‘place’ these feelings within ourselves.
Live Performance Review: SLUTNIK™
Award-winning playwright Flick’s debut full-length play SLUTNIK™ explores a group of lesbian space cannibals, and if that three-word description doesn’t sell this play, I don’t know what will.
