Theatre review: Austen in Therapy, Abbotsford Convent

Jane Austen lovers will find this enjoyable if they can look past the lacklustre production.

Two panels. On the left is of a woman with brown wavy hair wearing a green top. She's looking to the right. On the left is the cover of a book 'I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY'. It features an illustration of a hand squashing a hotdog.

An intimate portrait of a woman caring for her chronically ill son.

Two men sitting on a flight of white stairs. They are wearing shorts and white suit jackets adorned with palm trees. One of pair has a blank white mask, hat and sunglasses; the man to his left was a tanned face and a moustache.

Installation review: Endling, Vivid Sydney

A solo act that combines  projections, sound and narration with confined aerial and physical theatre.

A photo of a gray-blue night sky with drones forming the outlines of a fox head. Some audiences are taking out their phones to capture a photo in the rows in front.

Event review: DroneArt Show, Caulfield Racecourse

Over-hyped drone show delivered barely-there spectacle.
