Review: NEVER HAVE I EVER at State Theatre Centre
by David Bravos - Jun 20, 2025

Black Swan Theatre Company’s latest offering brings us Deborah Frances-White, celebrated author and host of The Guilty Feminist podcast, making a powerful foray into playwriting with NEVER HAVE I EVER. True to Frances-White’s signature style, the play deftly tackles themes of gender, race, and class, all set against a friendship that beautifully illustrates how, despite our differences, we often share more than we realise. Ture to her comedic style, Frances-White infuses each lesson with a laugh and each laugh with a lesson. Never have I ever left a theatre laughing so loudly but thinking so deeply, until now.

Review: PRIMA FACIE at State Theatre Centre
by David Bravos - Jul 12, 2024

PRIMA FACIE is a powerful one-person play by Suzie Miller that explores the complex perception of sexual assault survivors from the point of view of a lawyer hopelessly dedicated to the law. The play explores the legal system and its impact on sexual assault survivors, and Sophia Forrest’s performance coupled with the minimalist staging gives the audience no choice but fully confront these issues.

Review: DIRTY BIRDS at Heath Ledger Theater
by David Bravos - Nov 28, 2023

DIRTY BIRDS is a joyful and thought-provoking meander through a series of scenes as navigated by sisters who run the full breadth of feelings between siblings, from love and longing through to rivalry and indifference. This may be their first time sharing the pen and the stage, but if DIRTY BIRDS is anything to go by, we hope it's not their last.
