With its tent compound of concession stands, carnival games and intimate seating area, it is old-school circus with old-school aesthetics in a litany of different offerings, almost like a variety show.

The circus skills are high and shine brightly, especially when dramatic ideas are sometimes overextended.

This is a play that begins with a focus on the process of acting and in the hands of these two outstanding performers, the layering of the narrative against the work they are actually doing, for real, is utterly joyful.

Club Vegas is a whole lot of everything as it showcases style over substance in its crowded, amusing potluck of offerings.

Opera Australia and GWB Entertainment have delivered a beautifully realised, fully staged original take of this musical that is now as iconic as the film on which it was based.

Heathers The Musical
Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
Swan | Elf Lyons
Quirks of the source – and of the environment that sustains it – are cleanly exposed in a high-energy hour of physical comedy, delivered with moments of avian grace.
Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.

It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
