The Lowest of Us is a discrete, one-act play which explores the intimacy of a hotel room meeting between two lovers.
A group of Adelaide musicians lead by Luke Thompson, play some of James Taylor’s (the original JT) most popular songs, chronologically listing details of his personal life and professional successes.
He’ll make you want to take your clothes off. Kim Churchill is a beautiful man inside and out, and backs it up with some mighty good talent.
Anyone who heard the recent performance of Peer Gynt perfomed by the BBCSO featuring Irish actors playing the dramatic parts will have noticed (or ‘can imagine’ for you blushing culture-absconders) how perfectly appropriate the brogue fitted with the folksy mythical themes and characters.
Aaron Nobes knows a thing or two. He knows Facebook’s “Like” button is the only bit of glue holding society together. He knows which brand of tinfoil offers the best protection against government mind-control.
Make your way down to the quieter side of the city this weekend and join vocalists Grant Pearson and Jacqui Yeo along with three piece band the Secret Agents in an evening of aural and visual delight as they celebrate all things Bond, James Bond.
The danger of basing a comedy show around pop culture, and Willis appeared well aware of this, is that English references may not translate to Australian audiences.
It’s a big ask for any actor to play the king of the perfect one liner and immaculate comedy timing but, after a slow start, Dennis Manahan pulls it off.
At first glance it might seem that this pair would have no need for a survival guide to love, however there is a sincerity in their emotions throughout the performance which is really refreshing.
It was a brave choice for him to start the show with deliberately-bad material and only gradually let out his best stand-up, but he can sell even his worst one-liners in the delivery
If you’re going to see this guy, which you totally should, I recommend getting a crowd together first. A big crowd. And make sure you have a bar nearby. And now you can properly enjoy the not-quite-deejay sounds of Wolfwolf as he mashes together all your favourite future funk tracks.
A quirky, almost wordless performance of dance, acrobatics and physical humour. Mostly plotless, the show revolves around different scenes featuring unique bird-like characters played by the three talented performers of 3 is a Crowd.
Watching slightly more unshaven vaginal nudity than I had bargained for on a Saturday afternoon, I had found myself in an artists living room.
