How this came to be a work of dance performance is one of those rare miracles of creativity that you close your eyes and give thanks to the God you don’t believe in.

In existence since the early 80’s, MWT declares itself proudly unfunded, relying instead on its supporters, with its lack of government funding freeing it up to do their thing.

A bit of history and a lot of fun from the Pop-up Globe team. Take some kids and introduce them to Shakespeare and the Globe in the most fun way.

It might sound cliched to say this award-winning New York performance artist creates a sense of epic communion, but you’d be hard pushed to find someone in the world who does it better.

Continuing their exceptional season of productions, StageArt closes 2017 with perhaps their most ambitious project yet. Memphis, a jukebox musical with an upbeat score and a timely message to Australia.

If one were to summaries this production in a single word, that word might very well be “uncertainty”…

Don’t miss this, it’s as satisfyingly dramatic and spectacular a production of Othello as you’re likely to see.

West Gate | Melbourne Theatre Company
At 11.50am on October 15 1970, 35 men fell to their death as their place of work gave way from under them.
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.
The Brut Truth: A Champagne Comedy Tasting | Prétentieux vin Branleur
It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
There is a lot to love about this show; the cast are strong, and the onstage band who interact in the main diner setting is a fun touch.
