The Man And The Moon was part prose, part musical, part drama and wholly wonderful.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time: Why You Should See it, Straight from the Horse's Mouth
The National Theatre of Great Britain is bringing the phenomenal theatre adaption of Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time to major Australian cities. We were lucky to catch up with cast member Kaffe Keating to find out what makes this production so special.
Theatre Review: "Assassins" is fun yet maddening
Assassins is a play that comments on the fragile political climate throughout America’s timeline and explores the stories that history did not write.
Theatre Review: "The Events" deals with tough issues with great sensitivity
Black Swan’s latest play The Events attempts a lot of things, and achieves most of them.
Theatre Review: "Tissue" is More Than Just a Play About Porn
Tissue: A Play About Porn is everything it claims to be; first and foremost a play about porn, but also thought-provoking, feeling-arousing and conversation-starting.
Theatre Review: "When He Gets That Way" is a humorous and bizarre circus of two
Subiaco Theatre Festival's When He Gets That Way is one jolly joyride.
Theatre Review: Mamma Mia! is the feel-good spectacle we all need right now
This touring production of Mamma Mia! was just what the doctor ordered. It promised a night of good, easily digestible fun, and delivered exactly that.
Theatre Review: BSTC's "Hir" is strangely unaffecting
Bile masquerading as artful spectacle. There are some surprising reveals here and there that threaten to hold your interest, but little in the way of meaningful exchanges and growth.
Theatre Review: BSTC's Summer of the Seventeenth Doll
First written and perfumed in the mid-1950s, Summer of the Seventeenth Doll is a landmark of Australian theatre history. Everything fell in to place perfectly, from the set and light design to the razor-sharp line delivery.
Theatre Review: The elements come together for "Hive Mind"
Is there a difference between madness and salvation in Hive Mind?
Theatre Review: Hold Your Breath (Count to Ten) is Honest and Meaningful
The Blue Room's latest show, Hold Your Breath (Count To Ten), is a play about a play about the way a man's mind is so often its own worst enemy. Daley's story is very informative in its telling, if slightly clinical, and provides the audience with a lot of food for thought
Theatre Review: "Frank Enstein" is a phenomenal work on self-confidence and self-love
With an amazing set and surreal sound design and a multi-talented cast, The Farm & Co3 put on a performance that everyone involved should be wholeheartedly happy with.
We Caught Up with Natalie O'Donnell, Star of the New Mamma Mia! Show
We were lucky enough to talk to one of the main stars of the show, Natalie O'Donnell (in the lead role of Donna), to pick her thoughts on what promises to be a fantastic production. She told us all about the stellar cast and challenges of putting together such a massive show, and you can read all about it here!
Perth Festival Review: "You Know We Belong Together" is a welcome breath of fresh air
You Know We Belong Together is a wholesome, boundary-destroying show. It radiates with the pure pleasure of existing and performing to a real audience of real people.
Perth Festival Review: "White Spirit" is an "utterly immersive" experience
For this culturally curious reviewer, watching White Spirit was like eating a bite-sized portion of the Middle East, as I was filled for ninety minutes with the exuberant flavour of this beautiful region so sadly overlooked in the present
Perth Fest Review: "The Far Side of the Moon" is a marvel
The intense intimacy of a one man show paired with the grandiosity of the Heath Ledger Theatre on a Saturday night is a wonder to behold at this year's Perth Festival.
Fringe Review: "Sudden Skies" is a poignant piece of work
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.
Fringe Review: Condensed Literature - The Iliad
The play doesn't take itself too seriously, which has its hits and its misses.
Fringe Review: Sense and Spontaneity
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.
Perth Festival Review: Nassim
Using the technique from White Rabbit, Red Rabbit to execute this, a new actor is brought in each night, unrehearsed and unprepared for what lies ahead.
