‘Brisbane Improv Festival’ was amusing.

Brisbane Improv Festival and Big Fork Theatre continue to impress and delight, highlighting the dedicated performers in the local improv scene.

‘Chameleon’ was colourful.

Finding your voice can be tricky. Knowing how to use it can be even harder. But for Stewart Reeve, finding his voice was easy – he simply uses others’. After several months touring regional Australia, he returns to Melbourne with his critically-acclaimed one-man musical odyssey, ‘Chameleon’.

‘Top Girls’ was multifaceted.

The price of being a successful career woman is layered with sacrifice. Ad Astra’s latest production explores this in staging Caryl Churchill’s highly revered 1982 play ‘Top Girls’.

‘NO EXIT’ was captivating.

‘NO EXIT’ serves as a reflection on the consequences of our actions and the torment we endure in our relationships with others. Serving as Stage Fright Productions first production, Brittany Taylor Hetherington has made a triumphant first step.

‘Beginning’ was awkward-licious.

David Eldrige’s ‘Beginning’ delighted PIP Theatre’s audience with its story of Laura and Danny, awkwardly navigating their expectations and desires in the after-party early morning hours.

‘Grand Theft Theatre’ was appreciative.

We all have those moments in the theatre that stick with us. For some, it would be seeing the chandelier rise up to the ceiling in ‘The Phantom of the Opera’. For others, it may be a monologue from a fringe show that spoke to them in a profound, unique way. It is such moments as these that have inspired the experimental performance collective Pony Cam’s newest show, ‘Grand Theft Theatre’.

‘Proof’ was impeccable.

‘The Father’ was unsettling.

‘The Father’ is a gripping and heartfelt piece of theatre that explores the themes of family, connection and loss. Pip Theatre beautifully conveyed this story and should be highly commended for delivering a thought-provoking performance.

‘The Human Centipede Parody Musical’ was masterful.

Who would have thought the movie about a mad German scientist who kidnaps a trio of tourists to turn them into a human centipede would translate into a side-splitting parody musical? Synergy Production Co did, and they were right.
