Reviews
River of Fundament
As a monumental artistic vision, Matthew Barney’s latest film is admirable, but there’s little about it to actually enjoy.
Neko Case
Affecting the least pretentious stage presence you’re likely to see, Case's voice nevertheless impresses like an uncoiling python.
Laughing Wild
This production, by the two performers directing themselves, is a masterly take on Christopher Durang’s original social satire.
Cherry, Cherry: A Dining Room Tale
Accompanied by an Iranian and Mauritian meal, Neda Rahmani's incredible stories emerge over the course of an evening.
In A World...
By using an insular and seldom-explored industry as its basis, In A World… bubbles with considered comedy.
Happiness Not Included
In a world where comics often compete to out-gross each other, Okine’s less abrasive humour provides a pleasant alternative.
Kiss of the Chicken King
Lacking both wit and poetry, this production seems an odd inclusion in an international arts festival.
Theatre review: Roman Tragedies, Adelaide Festival
Three Shakespearean plays performed back to back over six hours, and exquisitely performed, makes for electrifying theatre.
Elektra
A shattering, intense musical experience
Chamber Jam
Three classical ensembles play a variety of arrangements from Spanish repertoire to Haydn to Radiohead.
