Review – Gravity
Gravity is clockwork cinema: it is elegant and functional to the smallest detail, but taken whole, it is no less of a work of art.

Review – Charmingly Useless
The show is a pleasing journey through Neil’s reflections on life, antics he has gotten up to, hypothetical outcomes to real life scenarios, and a litany of one-liners.
Review – Rush
Car racing is relegated to the background in Rush, and is no more integral to the story-telling than the soundtrack.
Review – This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things
Aside from the fact that she is incredibly musically gifted, her easy-going, lightly self-deprecating humour draws the audience in and leaves them audibly sighing for more. Literally.
Review – Winter is Coming
[Winter is Coming] was a fun show; unfortunately the old, obvious, unoriginal references outweighed the witty, unexpected and new.
Review – Pronounced L-O-V-E of the Man Đ
Emily Tomlins gives an astounding performance as the troubled, stuttering, androgynous Đ (pronounced ‘dj’), swinging from mood to mood with intensity and depth through an excitingly devastating emotional journey.
Review – Andy and Darcy are Home Alone
The performance is a variety show of sorts; as Darcy and Andy amuse themselves, we’re presented with comedy songs, sing-a-longs, hopelessly silly magic tricks, puppet plays and pranks.
Review – String Theory
Andy’s near-victory in Raw Comedy National Finals this year was no accident – he is annoyingly good for someone so fresh to the scene.
Review – Diana
Oliver Hirschbiegel ends up telling the same story as the tabloids, that of princess coming apart, rather than hinting at a Diana who just might have been more than her ends.
Review – My Soul Mate is out of my League
We witness a man at war with himself, and what results is a deeply personal and truly original concoction of tragedy, comedy and pathos.
Review – The Last Temptation of Randy
We are all victim to temptation; even if our heads are purple and made of felt.
Review – Don’t Kiss the Weird Girl
Sonia is a storyteller in the same vein as Mike Birbiglia or Simon Keck, her show largely consisting of a long-form anecdote that builds comedic tension.
Review – Game of Themes
Adam Rudegeair uses his considerable skills on the piano to serenade his audience with renditions of iconic music from science fiction and fantasy TV shows and films.
Review – Run Girl Run
Get your running shoes on; a gripping, funny, original, suspenseful piece of theatre that should not be missed.
Review – The Good Girl
Who would have thought that a sci-fi black comedy about a malfunctioning sex-bot could go so deep?
