FRINGE – Theatre – The Interminable Suicide of Gregory Church – Adelaide Town Hall – 4.5K

This is a compelling show. It is a drama with no more plotline than one man’s ordinary life and another’s effort to learn from, and understand, it. It is also a very funny and uplifting experience, with Kitson’s wonderful comic ability shining throughout his telling of the story. 4.5K

FRINGE – Theatre – The Disturbed Couples Hour – Citysoul – 3K

The script, from Alan Ball, includes some amusing ideas, conveyed in a clever, subversive manner – as is his way. This was a production with some good features but the execution still left something to be desired. 3K

FRINGE – Theatre – Over My Dead Body – Sandford House – 3.5K

This is not the usual Fringe fare, being a play more suited to the annual programme of one of the well-established local amateur theatre companies. However, for what it is, it is done well and will appeal to those people who are looking for something a little more traditional in their festival experience. 3.5K

FRINGE: Theatre – Phoenix Rising – Higher Ground – 3.5K

Paul Slack delivers a powerful one-man performance of the young D. H. Lawrence in Phoenix Rising, a play about a man on the verge of becoming one of English literature’s canonical writers and thinkers. In a series of short snapshots, using a simple set and enormous imaginative talent, Slack brings the young ‘Bertie’, along with a host of other characters that populated his younger days, to life. 3.5K

FRINGE: The Lesson – City Soul – Accidental Productions 3.5K

Flawless performances by both O’Grady and Hay make this play well worth supporting, especially as the entire crew have connections of one sort or another to Adelaide tertiary drama centres. 3.5K

It is fascinating to hear a story told in this way and the material is affecting, and heart-felt. Coupled with the strong delivery, this show really packs an emotional punch. 4.5K
