A personal story that explores religion, identity and family legacy through narrative, dance and music.
Theatre review: Worstward Ho, Theatre Works
A rarely presented Beckett play is typically experimental and interior in nature.
Theatre review: Jacky, Arts Centre Melbourne
Some uncomfortable viewing in this masterful play about sex, race and brotherhood.
Theatre reviews: Crocodiles, Northcote Town Hall Arts Centre
Despite good performances and a worthy exploration of aged care, the play is not fulfilling in a dramatic sense.
