Katie Noonan, Adelaide Fringe Festival 2015

No Comments 15 March 2015

You get the sense that Katie Noonan could do anything, music wise, and in her appearance at the magical fringe venue, the Aurora Speigaltent, she just about does. Noonan is effortless and comfortable and at times her vocal genius is mind boggling. The set is symphonic: an emotionally charged journey through predominantly, the darker side […]

Rip, Drag & Ruminate, Adelaide Fringe Festival 2015

No Comments 15 March 2015

Rip, Drag & Ruminate is a double bill dance production by AC Arts’ graduating dancers, which explores social dynamics and needs in a technology-saturated culture. The dancers are physically impressive with tightly executed choreography. Patches of Society is a charming but disjointed show and was overshadowed by the more conceptually complete personwhowatchestoomuchtelevision. AC Arts is […]

We May Have To Choose, Adelaide Fringe Festival 2015

No Comments 14 March 2015

We May Have To Choose by Emma Hall and Prue Clark is a 45 minute monologue that stridently and unsparingly asserts both factual and subjective truths. The honesty of this work is unsettling but valuable. Hall shares thoughts that are rarely spoken but undeniably familiar. This is a refreshingly experimental performance that forces the audience […]

Larry Dean – Out Now, Adelaide Fringe Festival 2015

No Comments 14 March 2015

Playing to a crowd of thirteen, Larry Dean starts his show as nonchalantly as possible. No one announces him, no one says a word. If you didn’t know who he was you might think a stranger had wandered in and just started talking into the mic. That’s because Dean isn’t playing the Garden, or 100+ […]

The Home Front, Adelaide Fringe Festival 2015

No Comments 14 March 2015

Beyond three women and World War 1, going in to The Home Front there is no way you can know what is about to take place. That’s because—in perhaps the most original idea I’ve seen at this year’s Fringe—the entire thing is improvised. The director calls for your attention; she asks you to provide the […]

The Sound of Nazis, Adelaide Fringe Festival

No Comments 12 March 2015

Hands down—the funniest thing you will see at this year’s Fringe. Staged in Tuxedo Cat’s Mayall Room (upstairs in a renovated office building—there has been charm bestowed here upon an otherwise utilitarian space), The Sound of Nazis mixes the musical with history to great effect. No stone is left unturned, and every aspect of the […]

Alice Fraser – Everyone’s A Winner, Adelaide Fringe Festival

No Comments 11 March 2015

Everyone’s A Winner recounts Alice Fraser’s time as a successful corporate lawyer who realised that it’s not worth succeeding at something you hate. The story is told in chapters through transcripts, dramatised scenes, and personal stories. The themes of social expectation and mainstream success make this a very relatable performance even without an understanding of […]

Law and Disorder, Adelaide Fringe Festival 2015

No Comments 10 March 2015

The guys from DamnitLeanne certainly have their certificates in smart-arsery; their quick fire responses had the audience laughing throughout Law and Disorder. All seven performers present a great show, filled with puns, jokes and general disorder. Being an impro show, each performance is unique, demonstrating the artists ability to engage the audience without a script. […]

The Reckoning, Adelaide Fringe Festival 2015

No Comments 10 March 2015

The death of Scott Johnson on Manly’s North Head is the centrepiece and emotional touchstone of Fairly Lucid Productions’ show The Reckoning. Originally put down as a suicide, the truth of this has only recently been questioned, and now it is not thought to be a gay hate crime. The various viewpoints on this story […]

A Butterfly Effect, Adelaide Fringe Festival 2015

No Comments 09 March 2015

Despite its alluring description, A Butterfly Effect was completely disappointing. While it did explore, as promised, the influences of decisions on a wide range of people, it wasn’t engaging. The performance was disorganised and while there was some laughter in the audience, it was sparse and far between. Every night is a different show and […]
