Review: THE OTHER SIDE at Kaha Theatre
by Neil Brewer - July 09, 2024
The Other Side is Kaha's third production, following Sunset Boulevard and Pride and Prejudice. While the two previous shows are well known, Pride and Prejudice was changed up for audiences with inclusion of Carpenters songs to the play. An interesting idea which I sadly did not get to see.

Review: SOMETHING ROTTEN! at Court Theatre
by Neil Brewer - July 08, 2024
Something Rotten! premiered on Broadway in 2015 and was nominated for ten Tony Awards. It is the story of the Bottom brothers, Nick and Nigel, who strive for success in the theatrical world as they compete with their incredibly popular competitor, one William Shakespeare. Desperate to out-Bard the Bard, Nick consults a soothsayer and learns that the next big thing in theatre will be a MUSICAL—a play where 'an actor is saying his lines, and out of nowhere he just starts singing.'

Review: PRIMA FACIE at Pumphouse

Michael Hurst’s direction ensures that the play’s heavy themes are expertly managed, bringing a sharp focus to Tessa's internal and external battles. The staging is both minimalist and effective, allowing the strength of the script and the power of Woodhouse’s performance to shine through.
