Theatre review: Australian Gothic Tales, The Butterfly Club
A lacklustre presentation of Australian stories that sidesteps Gothic elements entirely.

Theatre review: You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, Geelong Arts Centre
A vibrant production of the Charlie Brown franchise offers outstanding performances, but some outdated tropes.

Musical review: Grease: The Musical, Her Majesty's Theatre
It's colourful and energetic certainly, but this production does not do anything to update the original flavour.
