Review – Now We Can Talk
You’ll emerge from the tunnels blinking in the sunlight, still mentally absorbed in the piece and looking at the world around you a little differently. If nothing else, isn’t that what theatre should achieve?
Review – Swamp Juice
Swamp Juice is the story of a nasty little man with an evil cackle who enjoys tormenting the snails, snakes and birdies of the swamp he boats on. Until today, that is, when his world suddenly gets turned inside out.
Review – (finger)prints
Without giving anything away, the basic premise centres upon Esther being killed by a drunk driver. Oli and Sam desperately try to convince Max that he did it through such brutal levels of selfish machination that they could only be summoned by minds in utter desperation.
Review – Carousel & Clothesline
Imagine a bearded and tattooed muscle man supporting his pint-sized partner by her pelvis in a complex hold, which then segues seamlessly and sensuously between flips, holds and drops to the gasping appreciation of the crowd. Hot, right? Just wait until you see it.

Review – Day of the Dead
Cath and her sister decided to visit the Day of the Dead; a traditional Mexican holiday surrounding death and those who have passed away. This experience opened her eyes to the rather morose and taboo relationship Australians have with death.
Review – Anthropy
The whole show came together really well and was extremely entertaining. It left you wondering how the tricks were actually possible, which is exactly how you want to leave a magic show; in awed disbelief.
Review – Nunopoly 2: Mo’ Nun, Mo’ Nopoly
You will laugh at the abject poverty of South American countries. You will laugh at the plight of orphans left to the mercy of capricious nuns. And of course, you will laugh at the Catholic Church.
Review – Mat Ricardo
[Mat Ricardo] is a cynic’s juggler equipped with the comedic sensibilities of Rowan Atkinson, and he happily distances himself from the clichés of juggled swords (too dangerous) and juggled chainsaws (not dangerous enough).
Review – Saturday Night Soirée
La Boheme is the perfect place for this intimate little burlesque show. The dark and sultry atmosphere of the venue creates the perfect atmosphere to indulge in some light-hearted entertainment and escape the trappings...
