Theatre review: And Then There Were None, Comedy Theatre

The best selling crime novel of all time receives another stage adaptation.

An African Australian woman with long dark haired tied back, a Caucasian woman with a messy blonde bun, an Indian man with a black bun and a Caucasian man with short blond hair sit around a pit with sand in it drinking espresso martinis on stage set decorated like a Turkish restaurant. Never Have I Ever, Melbourne Theatre Company.

Book review: Water Moon, Samantha Sotto Yambao

A dreamy and fantastical tale about choices made and not made.

Five people wearing suits stand across a dark stage, with the large word SILENCE above their heads. Truth at Malthouse.

Patricia Cornelius' latest play tells the story of the WikiLeaks founder who 'wanted to change the world'.
