"600 Seconds is a good low stakes theatre for the unfamiliar, or an appetiser for the impatient fans hungry for a taste of potential future shows."

Jay Darroch reviews 600 Seconds Makes at The Blue Room Theatre:

600 Seconds is back with its MAKES program giving performers a chance to provide audiences with a 10-minute taste of a developing work. Under the mentorship of Bonnie Davis, this round of artists brought an interesting mix of concepts to the Blue Room Theatre. TALL STANDING YORGAS (TSY) – Joel Eva...

"As a sequel it is rather predictable but still entertaining. Shot in Thailand the scenery is visually impressive as are the special effects – the creatures seem as real and as menacing as ever."

Andrew Douglas reviews Jurassic World: Rebirth:

With any film franchise that has been around for decades, each new instalment has to offer something a little different to spice up all the predictable elements. Ever since the first Jurassic Park movie in 1993, there have been been a host of sequels, all of them with similar scenarios: dinosaurs ge...

“Enter Rapture: the latest entry into WASO’s chamber series, which took place right as the cold rain and wind brushed the city streets. It’s an interesting series by WASO: all the pieces performed are curated by the musicians themselves based on what they like to perform and what they want to see more of. I’m a big fan of this direction”

Read Izzy French’s review of West Australian Symphony Orchestra’s Rapture:

The changing of the season brings brittle times, and this Djilba in particular is causing a fair amount of trouble to myself and others around me. It is in these moments where comfort should be sought, and, for me, nothing pairs with a rainy Djilba day like some light classical music. Enter Rapture:...

600 SECONDS MAKES opens at the The Blue Room Theatre tonight. Read our conversation with the program’s mentor Bonnie Davis here:

Long before short form content became the norm, The Blue Room was doing it first with their yearly staple season of 600 SECONDS. For those unfamiliar with the program, a group of artists are given just 600 seconds, 10-minutes, to present a short work. It’s a fascinating challenge that pushes us to...

“This cinematic feeling is perfected in the show’s most highly anticipated song, ‘Be Our Guest’. The fabulous Lumiere, Rohan Browne, leads this marathon number which embraces the grandiose quality and fantasy of the golden age of cinema.”

Holly Ferguson reviews Beauty and the Beast Musical:

Exiting the theatre on opening night of Disney’s stage production of Beauty And The Beast, there was no doubt in my mind that this show was the best thing to grace the stage at Crown. As a beloved and well-known story, the show is both true to the original 1991 screenplay while simultaneously brin...

"Obsessive Austenites will be relieved to know that Matthew Semple’s script pays the utmost respect to the source material, while taking any opportunity for an anachronistic dance-off or gratifying wet-t-shirt scene (whatever you’re imagining, it’s even better). The cast were clearly having fun amongst the chaos, taking suggestions from the audience and pushing each other into delightfully tricky situations with their multiple characters."

Emily Smith reviews Piled and Prejudice at His Majesty's Theatre, Perth:

A winter downpour soaked Perth on Wednesday evening, but not even torrential rain could dampen the atmosphere at Plied & Prejudice’s opening night. We trekked through the rain like Lizzie Bennett on her way to Netherfield (just flashing my fan credentials), braving the storm to reach to His Majest...

"Once the Regency era story has been established, the play takes an interesting turn as one of the maids Laura (played by Lucy Coates) turns out to be an author trying to rewrite the novel from within. This cracks the story wide open to invite sharp wit and meta humour which breaks the fourth wall."

Jay Darroch reviews The Watsons on now at Curtin’s Hayman Theatre:

On a rainy Tuesday night, I trekked to the Hayman Theatre to see Curtin’s theatre arts students’ rendition of The Watsons. Laura Wade’s Austen inspired story got me as close as I’ll ever get to enjoying Jane Austen’s 19th century world of class and gender roles. Adapted from Austen’s unf...

"As the third biography of war hero Vivian Bulwinkel, this book inevitably covers much familiar ground. However, as the title suggests, it sheds new light on her captivity not covered in previous books, specifically information which was repressed for decades by offical channels and omitted from previous biographers."

Andrew Douglas reviews Sister Bullwinkel a new biography by Lynette Ramsay Silver:

As the third biography of war hero Vivian Bulwinkel, this book inevitably covers much familiar ground. However, as the title suggests, it sheds new light on her captivity not covered in previous books, specifically information which was repressed for decades by offical channels and omitted from prev...

"It’s already chaotic in the sense that you have five actors playing twenty main characters, scrambling to get the entire book done in ninety minutes. But also, one actor does four shots at the start of the show and then they continue to drink more throughout the show if the audience don’t think they’re drinking enough. The other four actors try and keep it all on track. The fun part of that is every night is slightly different. Obviously, it’s all scripted, but inherently things change every evening which is fantastic."

Emily Smith chats with producer of Plied and Prejudice Alex Woodward ahead of the show's opening at His Majesty's on July 18:

From the page to the screen and now the stage with a twist. Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice gets a chaotic, immersive makeover in Plied and Prejudice, coming to His Majesty’s Theatre. Presented by Alex Woodward, this five-person comedy sees class, pomp and etiquette thrown out the door… espe...

"[T]he show did prompt me to reflect on my own concerns about our climate emergency. Perhaps my view has been too siloed. BRUISED is the reminder I needed that we are all connected, and our strength lies in holding space for each other’s fears, hopes, and truths."

Holly Ferguson reviews Bruised at The Blue Room Theatre:

There’s little left unsaid about climate change, and few perspectives that haven’t been voiced. Yet the urge artists feel to keep returning to this subject persists, as it should.BRUISED, presented by Follow That Cat, explores how individuals experience and interpret climate change in deeply per...

"The music is absolutely astounding. I was simply blown away by the rich, swirling and full sound collaboratively created between Kira and Pavan, and the range of storytelling and emotion they conveyed throughout the piece."

Holly Ferguson reviews Child presented by Pavan Kumar Hari and The Blue Room Theatre:

Pavan Kumar Hari creates magic in his latest work Child, a vibrant blend of full-bodied music, dance, play and even foliage. Lush branches of eucalyptus descending from the ceiling and a box office encased in greenery made for quite the entrance at the venue (Saraswati Mahaidyalaya). A blackboard wa...

"A born performer, her feats in the water were soon transferred the budding field of motion pictures. Her international fame soon had the studios of Hollywood calling. As a result she became Australia’s first international screen star. Moreover, her silent films were not low-budget affairs but major screen epics shot on exotic locations such as Jamaica and Bermuda and involving (and recouping) big budgets to cater for elaborate sets and thousands of extras."

Andrew Douglas reviews biography ‘Annette Kellerman Australian Mermaid’ by Glantlee Keiza:

Once again, Grantlee Keiza shines a light into a forgotten corner of our history with this detailed biography of yet another of Australia’s impressive achievers. This book is thoroughly researched with a detailed list of references and many illustrations. In this first biography of Annette Kellerm...
