Theatre review: Australian Gothic Tales, The Butterfly Club

A lacklustre presentation of Australian stories that sidesteps Gothic elements entirely.

Far from detracting from the enjoyment, acrobats add to the complexities of this classic opera.

It's colourful and energetic certainly, but this production does not do anything to update the original flavour.

Singing and dancing in a pub setting brings frothy joy to all.

Musically first-rate and impressively sung, Verdi’s 'Aida' rises above the idiosyncrasies of this 21st century production.

Performance Review: At the End of the Land, PICA Performance Space, WA

A non-linear and Lynchian solo performance, with visual and aural extravagances.
