Dirty Laundry was certainly my favourite show of this year’s Fringe season.
With a mastery of body and voice, highlighted by Biagioni's electric singing, Sudden Skies displays the power within a person to defy, and in turn to surrender. The innovative use of movement and intense vocal choices makes for a performance like no other this Fringe season.
As Perth’s Fringe season reaches its dusk, there have been some amazing pieces of theatre bursting its way onto the arts scene, and this totally improvised, Jane Austen inspired two-woman tour de force is no exception.
This performance is a sweet, sweet thing, full to the brim and overflowing with charm and sass.
If you like Shakespeare but have a short attention span, you’ll probably find something to enjoy here.
Banned is a thought provoking piece of work that deftly examines a myriad of social issues in a sensitive and nuanced yet entertaining manner.
Minus One Sister bears the mark of excellent theatre and I simply cannot stop thinking about it.
We speak to the talents behind "Night Sweats", writer/performer Timothy Green and director Haydon Wilson.
As fabled as Tony Galati’s eyebrows, and more elusive than Kevin Parker, James McHale is a man whose reputation mainly exists in myth and whispers. Yet, in light of Perth's Fringe World Festival, the man behind the legend has stepped forth from behind his taxpayer funded news mantle to ask fellow 'Perthonalities' some not-so-hard hitting questions. As James himself puts it, he’s “asking the people [he’s] always wanted to question, the questions [he’s] always wanted to ask”.
Alone Outside is a one woman show; the role of Daphne is brilliantly depicted by Jo Morris. You often find yourself forgetting that there are no other actors on the stage, as the way Morris relays and reacts to the other characters is so genuinely visceral.
Residing from the Gold Coast, the deluded duo embody nothing but pure chaos. It was an uproarious night; cue sequins, high-energy dancing, comical exchanges and plentiful shenanigans. If anything, it was a Greek tragedy of epic proportions.
A Prudent Man is a cleverly written and performed play that never tells you what to think, but gives you a lot to think about. Lyall Brooks is a convincing actor, and the never slaps you in the face with any sort of moral (or even story), but trusts the viewers to understand by sprinkling snippets of information to piece together.
Don’t bring your mum, or your grandma. Have a drink, buy a raffle ticket and leave your manners at the door.
Encapsulating so many of the best things about Fringe: Nostalgia, crowd participation, excellent showmanship, eccentricity, and of course music.
This year’s Fringe Festival is the most ambitious to date; With over 200 acts performing over the 4 weeks beginning with tonight’s VIP launch, as well as expanding into the Swan region with Midlandia (so much class with the extra ‘i’) nobody could argue with that.
