Fifty Shades of Black, written by Karla Hart and performed by Hart and Della Rae Morrison, is structured as a series of short skits about different Nyoongar people and the lives they lead; ranging from the stolen generation to contemporary times. It is not a slick show; there are numerous technical difficulties and the acting […]

‘Call it role play at home’, Trixie Little announces, ‘but what we do on stage is different.’ On stage she’s elaborately costumed, as is her assistant, the Evil hate monkey. He’s a well trained monkey, we’re assured, and he does a fine job of pouring champagne. But that doesn’t mean he won’t succumb to more […]

The sounds of the creatively fuelled circus that is Fringe World can still be heard faintly as you walk behind Metro City towards a more industrial venue. Amongst a collection of shipping containers, my companion and I worried that we were lost before being found by one of the many extremely friendly employees of The […]

Erno Rubik’s “Magic Cube” presents a frustrating challenge. Without the necessary strategy, you can blindly twist and turn for hours, chasing your tail through a seemingly infinite labyrinth of multicoloured permutations.

At Lazy Susan’s Comedy Den in the Brisbane Hotel, Saturday nights are placed in the hands of Cut Snake Comedy and their improvised show, “The Big HOO-HAA!”. Having brought us the Eurotrash of “Improvision” at Fringe World 2012, this year the team has taken their inspiration from the works of William Shakespeare, to create the […]

Ribald, irreverent, occasionally farcical, periodically scatological, but always varied – such a description could apply as easily to Geoffrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales as to a Fringe World show. A thought of this sort clearly occurred to a member of the KNUTS theatre company, which is staging two productions based on Chaucer’s Tales. Directed by […]
