A Fringe Festival newbie embarks on his first Fringe adventure with Rian Howlett’s journey into the Museum of Lost Things, an interdimensional black hole where all things lost go to live out their days.
PIAF REVIEW: BEYOND TIME
Resonant drumming, martial arts and serene set design grounds the oriental production held at the gorgeous His Majesty's Theatre.
PIAF REVIEW: IL N'EST PAS ENCORE MINUIT
This esteemed collective from the northern French city of Lille pushes the limits of physical ability and brings poetry to the body in motion with daring, gasp-inducing stunts. The 22 acrobats will make your jaw drop in wonder as they catapult each other through the air or create multi-storey human towers of power.
Perth Festival: "The Barbershop Chronicles" is a "Dynamic Bonzanza Full of Energy and Spectacle"
Rarely does a show with so many players capture the fundamental essence of human relationships, but this one has it in the bag. A diverse tale of individual and collective histories, a living tapestry for all who behold it, and one of those 'all' should be you.
Fringe Review: "The Beast and the Bride" is Not Your Average Bedtime Story
Testoni knows stories are anything but silly. She gives a voice and a face to a Victorian-era girl who is graceful and fierce, young in her curiosity, but wise in her insight.
Fringe Review: "Night Sweats" Lets all the freakishness hang out
I'm always impressed when small theatre shows transcend their limitations through an artful use of performance, light and sound. Timothy Green's Night Sweats is such a show.
Fringe Review: "Cardboard Kingdom" is Playful and Spirited
Cardboard Kingdom is the most heartfelt wakeup call imaginable. The passion on display in all facets of the play is the kind that made me fall in love with theatre in the first place.
Fringe Review: "Less Light" Illuminates the life of Aussie millennials
Less Light is a deeply unique theater experience.
Fringe Review: Josephine! is Perfect for a Wholesome Theatre Experience
This is the story of a girl... who loved stories but didn't like her own world! Written and directed by Scott McArdle and embodied by the magnificent team at Second Chance Theatre, with musical prodigy Georgina Cramond on keys, there is never a dull moment in Josephine!
Fringe Review: "Banned" is an Empathetic, Sincere Success
Banned is a thought provoking piece of work that deftly examines a myriad of social issues in a sensitive and nuanced yet entertaining manner.
Fringe Review: One Punch Wonder (4x4x4)
One Punch Wonder is a timely exploration of what it means to be a man, in a year which has already been defined by the impact of the murky depths of the male psyche.
Fringe Review: 'Wil Greenway: The City Ate the Stars' is Immaculate and Heartwarming
You'll leave laughing, weeping, with a memory to hold in the corner of your ribcage forever.
Fringe Review: "Star-Crossed Poetry" Explores the Rawness of Love
It harnesses the honest power of poetry, although each show is tailored for an audience there is an authentic energy to every word uttered in this show. For anyone who has been in love, out of love or even speculated the concept, there is something here for you.
Fringe Review: "Cull" is an Ingenius Comedy
This two-person play can only be described as an experience. What they brought was a boundary-pushing, uproariously funny night of dark slapstick comedy at its finest.
Fringe Review: "Above the Mealy-Mouthed Sea" is a One-Woman Hit
A visceral and rollercoaster-esque experience, this show will grab you by your memory and pull you down the rabbit-hole. It asks you to become all ears for just an hour; sit forward, and listen up.
Fringe Review: "Minus One Sister" is "Remarkable in Every Aspect"
Minus One Sister bears the mark of excellent theatre and I simply cannot stop thinking about it.
Black Swan's Let the Right One In: There Will Be Blood
What do you get when you mash a story of teen angst, candy shops and vampires together? The answer may just lie with Jack Thorne’s stage adaptation of Swedish novelist John Lindqvist’s Let the Right One In
Theatre Review: Western Sky Theatre's Engrossing Adaption of Once We Lived Here
Once We Lived Here is a timeless tragicomedy that makes its audience alternate between laughing and crying, sometimes both at the same time. The cast delivered strong characters all round with an authenticity that is hard to find in such dramatised and musical theatre.
Theatre Review: I Am My Own Wife is a Heartfelt and Funny Gem
A tale of resilience packed with tongue in cheek humour, I Am My Own Wife has a lot to teach people of all ages about courage, friendship and approaching life with a load of grit.
