The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) – Dunstan Playhouse – 4K

Not all of the jokes succeeded, but enough did so that laughter resounded through the auditorium. Although some individuals may find the lowbrow humour that is undeniably present in this show irksome, the opening night audience’s reaction indicates that the majority will enjoy it for the amusing and gentle mockery that it is. 4K

RAW: Origins – Genevieve Brandenburg & Saskia Scott – The Reading Room – Til 24 April

From The Sea by Saskia Scott

Two young Adelaide artists are presenting a dozen or so of their works at the Hindley St Reading Room for the next month. Both ladies exhibit a duality of styles; Scott in photography and watercolour and Brandenberg in Pollock like oils and novel ‘lyric’ portraits.

FRINGE: Music – Adam Page Solo – La Boheme – 4.5K

HAVE YOU SEEN ADAM PAGE? By now Adelaideans have no excuse. In fact, so many of us want to that his sold-out Solo Fringe shows at La Boheme had to be moved downstairs to accommodate more people. 4.5K

RAW: Football Wrap – Preseason Ends

Masochists Prepare For More Soul Destruction. Bring It On!

Anyway, enjoy your football. Collingwood to go top, Suns to go last, Voss first to go, Malthouse to go last. North Melbourne and Port to remain on the gurnee in financial triage. Fev back in rehab by round 3. St Kilda dropping more than their trousers to 6th.

RAW: Stop (the) Gap: International Indigenous Art in Motion – Samstag – 4K

Still from Lisa Reihana's Te Po O Matariki

The idea of closing the gap between indigenous and non-indigenous worlds, whether as another Government slogan or through exhibitions such as this, is a worthy goal and this exhibition is a valuable contribution to that goal. 4K

FRINGE: Beer And Loathing – Rhino Room (Beer Garden) – 4.5K

From our quaint politicians and their ethical dilemmas to a general sh*t on the liver session about most things happening in this country, Brooks is the funny guy in the bar that draws a crowd that just wants to hang there hoping that his fun never finishes. 4.5K

FRINGE: Dead Cat Bounce – Excess at Gluttony – 4K

Their Caged Heat shows were terrific while their Bootlegs seemed just an excuse to jam, where little of their band’s personalities got a run. 4K

RAW: Fear of a Brown Planet Attacks Again – Garden – 4K

We were allowed to laugh at our own ability to be so opinionated, and could reflect on things that the average Australian doesn’t really have the understanding to comment on. 4K
