‘Hide the Dog’ was action-packed.
Every parent knows the challenge of keeping kids engaged in theatre for anything less than awesome and so in that sense, youth theatre can sometimes be a gamble. ‘Hide the Dog’ was a crowd-pleasing, action-packed comedy that not only held my 10-year-old son’s attention but also had us both entertained.
‘The Making of Pinocchio’ was personal.
In its audacity and complexity, “The Making of Pinocchio” blurs the line between the familiar and the taboo, creating a space for contemplation and reflection, and beckoning the audience to a place where honesty, creativity, and self-acceptance converge.
‘Pacific Mother’ was thought-provoking.
‘Pacific Mother’, by Japanese actress and freediver Sachito Fukumoto, is an awe-inspiring documentary that takes us on a compelling journey through the Pacific, sharing the birthing stories of women who are intimately connected to the ocean. Showing in select Australian cinemas from September 19, 2023.
‘Tiny Beautiful Things’ was soul-stirring.
Letter after letter, story after story, the emotion was palpable, and everyone’s timing, versatility and energy impeccable. It truly felt like each character was plucked straight from the pages of Strayed’s letters.
‘Venus in Fur’ was captivating.
‘Venus in Fur’ is a must-see production for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of power dynamics, in discovering impressive new talent, and also anyone keen to have a great night out at the theatre.
‘Jingle’ was scrumptious.
‘Jingle’ is clearly aimed at the entire family, it was flirty but not dirty (although the pole dancing number seemed to raise a few eyebrows around us) and the humour was lighthearted and fun.
‘And Then There Were None’ was suspenseful.
Heading to the show last night, we had a fair idea of what we were getting into, and Nash delivered to our expectations: a solid, old-school, suspenseful ‘whodunnit’ murder-mystery classic from the Queen of the genre herself, performed earnestly by passionate volunteers.
‘The Producers’ was audacious.
Queensland Musical Theatre’s latest production was a thoroughly enjoyable show. The calibre, boldness and visible success were genuinely impressive.
