Review: True West, Limelight on Oxford (NSW)
Funniest when it’s also at its most serious, Sam Shepard’s classic explores sibling rivalry and the dying West.
Book Review: Exhalation by Ted Chiang
A deep, emotional collection of stories that keeps you asking questions well after you’ve put it down.
Review: Disparate Scenes for Millennial Dreams, Meat Market Stables (VIC)
Three new works that capture the millennial mood in a seamless blend of the metaphysical and the banal.
Review: Terracotta Warriors & Cai Guo-Qiang, NGV
The explosive chemistry between China’s past and present is the focus of the latest Melbourne Winter Masterpieces exhibition.

Much can be inferred from reading between the lines of this well documented cold case.
Review: Australian String Quartet – Moore Beethoven Brahms (NSW)
A soundscape, brand new quartet and two classics.
Review: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Charles Sturt University (NSW)
Charles Sturt University’s production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream revels in the incongruity and farcicality of lovers and couplings.
Review: Heisenberg, Arts Centre Melbourne
MTC has managed to pull off an intriguing, optimistic rom com that succeeds in both the romance and the comedy.
Review: The Three Graces, Theatre Works (VIC)
The aesthetically stylish production is strongest when it departs from realism.
