- BWW Review: MARY BIRTH OF FRANKENSTEIN - Superbly gothic and modern simultaneously.
- Review: HOME, I'M DARLING by Laura Wadeat Howick Little Theatre - This is one of my favourite more contemporary scripts and it was handled extremely well.
- BWW Review: HAMLET at Shoreside Theatre, Pumphouse - The direction of this show was superb. The Ghost was "eerie" and resonant voiced which was spine chilling. The humour within the play was explored very effectively. The staging was both Shakespearian and very clever in approach.
- CALL GIRLS BY JAMES CARRICK at THE PUMPHOUSE Theatre, Takapuna, Auckland - Fantastic play set in Takapuna NZ, written by a New Zealander about the the concept of "old age" still having the power to take action against injustice. Very funny. I hope to direct myself in 2026.
- BWW Review: THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN at Howick Little Theatre - The setting, and use of lighting, captured the dramatic tension with flair. A tense and engaging storyline that was executed with expertise.
