MOTHER | Cremorne Theatre, QPAC
by Virag Dombay - March 06, 2020
Presented by If Theatre, Mother proves that Noni Hazlehurst is one of the storytellers of our times. The stage becomes a storybook and we are its readers, as Hazlehurst, through every cry, twitch, cackles and shuffle, shares a story with of compassion from someone who is deeply hurting and misunderstood. Running for seventy-five minutes, Hazlehurst vanishes into the character of Christie, a heartbroken and grief stricken homeless, alcoholic mother who longs for the touch of her child, from her trembling walk and constantly twining fingers, to her dry and hardened voice. As audience members, we get lost in the rhythm of her conversations, the longing in her voice, the love she feels for her not only her son but for her husband and her uncertainty in where she belongs and what role she can play in the world. She desperately wants to play the role of the Mother, but her husband won't allow that because of her alcoholism but she is the Mum so shouldn't that be enough? This is just one of the many questions the play asks its audience to critically think about.

MATT GRAHAM, KURLIPA REACH AND 'UPTOWN' BROWN! at Woodford Folk Festival
by Virag Dombay - January 02, 2020
Singer-songwriter Matt Graham reminded me what it was like to fall in love. As soon as he opened his mouth I was transported back in time and re-lived each touch, smell and sensation of what it was like to meet my partner for the first time. His voice was melodic and vulnerable as he shared stories of love, hope and heartbreak. As a listener, I was hanging on his every word, waiting to hear what was going to happen next. His set was intimate and he made sure that the audience felt like they were at home, which was such a lovely touch. Personally, I can't wait to download his music on Spotify and see what happens next for this Brisbane based performer.

KATE MILLER-HEIDKE, THE EAST POINTERS AND MAMA MIRANJI & THE MAREIKURA AT WOODFORD FOLK Festival
by Virag Dombay - December 27, 2019
Kate Miller-Heidke is a renowned singer/songwriter who sang an impressive repertoire of songs featuring different operatic runs and tricks. Her impressive vocal range and control was evident from the first song, hitting notes with such ease that she left the audience with their jaws dropped. Highlights from her set included 'You've Underestimated Me Dude', 'Caught In the Crowd' and her haunting rendition of 'Sarah' which still gives me goosebumps whenever I listen to it. Her husband and co-singer/songwriter Keir Nuttall's improvised guitar solos were something I found myself craving more of and her back-up singer Jessica Hitchock literally had the voice of an angel. Overall, the set had the perfect combination of songs new and old, flavours and textures. Well done Kate and team.
