Review: Chinatown Crossings 2019 by Drama Box

A new cast member and a tighter script keeps Chinatown Crossings as rewatchable and poignant as ever. When we watched Chinatown Crossings last year, little did we expect it to end up becoming one of our favourite productions of 2018. With a sold out run, it was heartening to hear that Drama Box had managed to bring it back again this year so more audience … Continue reading Review: Chinatown Crossings 2019 by Drama Box

Review: Anything Can Happen/Something Must Happen by Young & W!ld

Theatre academia distilled into a metatheatrical production by way of Macbeth. Edith Podesta is one of our local theatre scene’s most exciting directors. Never one to simply present a straightforward work, a production by Podesta is almost always surprising, subverting audience expectations as she pushes theatrical boundaries both visually and conceptually. And so it is that as director of W!ld Rice’s latest batch of Young … Continue reading Review: Anything Can Happen/Something Must Happen by Young & W!ld

Review: KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiousities by Cirque du Soleil

Ever inventive, Cirque du Soleil makes familiar acts feel fresh again with a kuriosly steampunk twist. Historically, cabinets of curiosities have acted as precursors to the modern museum – touring exhibitions of kooky, out of this world artefacts and curios inspiring wonder and joy in all its visitors. In much the same vein then, Cirque du Soleil’s Kurios: Cabinet of Curiosities is just as charming as its name … Continue reading Review: KURIOS – Cabinet of Curiousities by Cirque du Soleil
