Theatre review: The Black Woman of Gippsland, Southbank Theatre, The Sumner

A modern mystery tale about Indigenous identity.

'The Door in Question' is part of Sleepless Footscray Festival. A moody and atmospheric photograph of a person wearing a white VR headset; they are framed by a window, making us feel almost voyeuristic as we look at them. Behind the seated figure are sheets of paper stuck on the wall, including old pages and photographs from a book.

Theatre review: The Lover and The Dumb Waiter, Ensemble Theatre

A double dose of classic Pinter plays.

British countertenor James Laing as the Refugee in State Opera South Australia's 2025 production, 'Flight'. A distressed-looking man dressed in slightly dishevelled, mostly brown clothing, stands in an airport terminal between two rows of uncomfortable-looking metal and plastic seats. The blue-lit panelled wall behind him evokes the bars of a prison cell, while four curving beams of light projected against the walls increase the impression of this man being trapped or avoiding the spotlight.
