Review: HAMLET at the Masque Theatre Is Innovative, Relevant and Compelling


by Jaime Uranovsky - May 13, 2025

I am continuously mesmerised by theatre-makers’ abilities to deliver fresh and novel adaptations of Shakespeare plays. This feminist, gender-swapping retelling of HAMLET is such an adaptation. It is sublime – one of the best shows I have ever seen at the Masque Theatre....

Review: A DOLL'S HOUSE, PART 2 starring Bianca Amato and Zane Meas is brilliant


by Faeron Wheeler - May 01, 2025

That's right, there's a part 2! And it is excellent. Written by American playwright and author Lucas Hnath and debuting in 2017, A DOLL'S HOUSE, PART 2 is quite literally the story of what happens after the end of Henrik Ibsen's classic. I want to say a big thank you to The Quickening Theatre Compan...

Review: THRILL ME - THE LEOPOLD AND LOEB STORY at Theatre On The Bay


by Faeron Wheeler - March 04, 2025

THRILL ME - THE LEOPOLD AND LOEB STORY is the recounting of a true crime, but it's really about the why of it all. Add to that the layer of telling the story through song, and you have a piece of theatre that is both whimsical and chilling....
