"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...

“despite being a lot of things, everything is so purposeful, each thought curated, each word spoken specifically, each frame of the projection crafted meticulously, all towards this grander narrative about the things we love, the things we lose, and the stories we remember them by…”

Read Izzy French’s review of Love Stories presented by stop drop + roll at The Blue Room Theatre:

When I think about human-led destruction in its many facets, I feel fatigued. The world has been burning both metaphorically and literally long before I was born, and at my most nihilistic, I don’t care, because it will probably burn regardless. This is all to say that Love Stories made me care ag...

"Never Have I Ever packs a cultural punch so effective you simply boil over to share whispers in the blackouts, rapid fire observations in the interval and deeper musings in the line at the CPP."

Danica Lamb reviews Never Have I Ever presented by Black Swan State Theatre Company:

Performed at the Heath Ledger Theatre, Never Have I Ever is a bold and biting new play by Deborah Frances-White, best known for her podcast The Guilty Feminist. Directed by Kate Champion, this production by Black Swan Theatre Company is a rollercoaster of laughs, tension, and uncomfortable truths. N...

"Held at the Riverside Theatre, this collab between WASO and the Melbourne-based podcast Art of the Score presented something refreshing and different: a symphony orchestra concert that was not only musically marvellous, but also clever, funny, and entertaining."

Stacy Long reviews The Music of John Williams presented by West Australian Symphony Orchestra:

John Williams is a name who has shaped the way we have ‘heard’ movies over the last 50-odd years. You may not know his name, but you’d definitely know his iconic music – it’s part of the very fabric of popular culture. The Music of John Williams delivered a celebration of his work that was...

“Lincoln Matrozis’ rendition of Scaphio stole the show for me and had me clutching my stomach. He truly embodied the boisterous spirit of the performance. Likewise, Joshua Edwards’ portrayal of Tarara brought just the right amount of facetiousness to the heavy intent behind such a political story.”

Jay Darroch reviews Utopia Limited:

Whenever I see things like “rarely performed,” it feels like a contrived effort to generate hype for something unknown. Promoters often want to make it seem like that’s some hipster attribute the production has been aiming for all along, rather than the sad reality of an obscure artwork desper...

"There was an instinctive flow to the performance that gently pulled the audience around the room without alerting our cognition. It was lovely to be given a rare opportunity to see this type of intimacy between two sisters, as characters and performers."

Jay Darroch reviews Two Thread at The Blue Room Theatre:

Audiences in Boorloo have been treated to a rare treat in Two Thread, with the opportunity to see a show about sisterhood performed by two sisters, both talented and expressive dancers. Karlia and Danni Cook co-choreographed this piece, which showcases their skills in peak form. Their performance ma...

"We all struggle. We all deal with loss grief and depression at some point in our lives. I am hoping audiences gain a better understanding of how to articulate and speak about mental health without seeming or feeling the stigmas of weakness or irrelevance, especially young men. We hold in our emotions and find it difficult to express them. This show allows us all to reflect on how we communicate feelings with each other."

Blue by Thomas Weatherall is set to make it’s WA debut later this month and Mitch Whelan interviewed the show’s solo performer Owen Hasluck, and beloved WA director Ian Wilkes. They discussed all things creative process and coming of age.

"Bijayini Satpathy is a master of her craft and all my conversations with her to date have been inspiring. Her anchoring in the classical traditions together with her curiosity and openness to explore in the current is special. It is exciting to see where this residency will take us now."

Holly Ferguson speaks with Kamal Thurairajah from ChitAmbara about their current creative program, Echoes From A Forgotten Land, and a recent residency that took Western Australian dancers to India to collaborate with Odissi master Bijayini Satpathy:

Widely regarded as one of the most celebrated dance artists and educators, Bijayini Satpathy is a distinguished master of Odissi, a classical dance form from India. With more than three decades of performance and teaching experience, being guided by Bijayini is a profound privilege for anyone dedica...

"An odd love story comes to life in At Sea, Staring Up, written by award-winning playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer. Five people’s stories unravel across the world, and dream-like peculiarity draws these characters all towards a single storyline. The fun thing about surrealism is that it leaves questions and imagination in its wake. You’re not quite sure what it’s meant to mean, if anything at all."

Jay Darroch reviews At Sea, Staring Up presented by Curtin Theatre Arts and Hayman Theatre Company:

An odd love story comes to life in At Sea, Staring Up, written by award-winning playwright Finegan Kruckemeyer. Five people’s stories unravel across the world, and dream-like peculiarity draws these characters all towards a single storyline. The fun thing about surrealism is that it leaves questio...
