Flossy and Me
MUSIC Flossy and Me Circus Theatre Review: Jordan Nix The artists who take their work to fringe festivals must be congratulated for having the guts to take part in what can be a risky adventure with sometimes little financial pay off. This risk also makes it that extra bit more disappointing to see a show […]

STREET THEATRE Mechronos Perth Cultural Centre REVIEW: Jordan Nix There was a moment in Mechronos when two children bickering in the crowd suddenly stopped with their mouths open, frozen with wonder. Above them, aerial artists are dangling perilously above the Mechronos machine, somersaulting through the air. Their bodies make beautiful silhouettes in the setting sun. […]

THEATRE Testaclese & ye Sack of Rome De Parade Teatro 2 Review: Jordan Nix Sometimes the name can say it all. Testaclese & ye Sack of Rome is all the warning you need to know the show you’re going to see is less about long-winded Shakespeare and more about shaking your long spear. If you […]

The award-winning Three High Acrobatics bring us their show Knock Off, a high-energy, hilarious contemporary circus act following three tradies on an ‘average’ work day.

Despite first being performed almost a decade ago, the topics explored in Stephen House’s Walk in Dirt still feel current and perhaps even more relevant today. The show follows an unnamed man as he walks through his rubbish-filled street and into the dark urban underworld, meeting a series of bizarre and fractured characters. It is […]

I admit the mention and promise of Dolly Parton had me sold on seeing Hope Is The Saddest before I knew anything more about the play, but I was adamant that my love of country music would not get in the way of my critique. Thankfully, this show is so delightful charming and funny that […]

The sold-out premiere season of Sleepyhead was critically applauded in Melbourne for its gothic undertones and wicked dark humour, but unfortunately its hometown debut doesn’t get it quite right. Set in rural Australia, we meet Eleanor (Amy Murray) and Genevieve (Louise Cocks), two very different sisters alone and isolated from the world by their Dad […]
