FRINGE: Somewhere Under the Rainbow – Cabaret – The Big Slapple – 4K

While not quite capturing the feeling of their last two Fringe appearances, the Jane Austen Argument provide a night of quality, funny and moving original music. New comers are sure to be drawn in by their charisma and their album is a great addition to the collection. 4K

FRINGE: The Half – Theatre – Higher Ground – 4K

It is a fine balance to create a character that is necessarily a little over the top, but realistic enough to be hilarious, however Guy Masterson manages to do so. Thespians and theatre novices alike will find a lot to enjoy in The Half. 4K

FRINGE: Drowning in Veronica Lake – Theatre – Holden Street Theatres – 4K

This is a very interesting look at the life of Veronica Lake and gives insight into the woman behind the Hollywood pin-up. It will have definite appeal for any fans of the late actress but is also an engaging and quality piece of theatre in its own right. 4K

FESTIVAL: Malmo – Vitalstatistix – Waterside – 4K

Malmö has immense appeal. It brings dance and theatre together to create a wonderfully irreverent, yet moving, exploration of one of the recent crazes in Australia. 4K

FRINGE: Live On Air With Poet Laureate Telia Nevile – Comedy – Tuxedo Cat – 4.5K

Fans of grammar, punctuation, and the correct and effective use of the English language rejoice! Telia Nevile is here to get the message out there that poetry is great, words are beautiful, and you don’t have to be a drug addled, depressed, child of divorced alcoholic parents to make quality art. 4.5K

FRINGE: Jane Austen is Dead – Theatre – The Bakehouse – 4K

There were lots of gleeful giggles of recognition and several audience members nodded at various segments – presumably seeing either themselves or their friends being represented on stage. Jane Austen is Dead is an amusing evening of light entertainment, presented by a talented performer. 4K

FRINGE: Awake – Theatre – Queen’s Theatre – 3.5K

This was an enjoyable, emotionally engaging, quality piece of theatre, focusing on an interesting topic.
The scripts capture the journey that is inescapable when a member of your family is diagnosed with such an illness; the grief, the humour, the fatigue, and the helplessness. 3.5K

FRINGE: Misery – Theatre – Higher Ground – 4K

While incredibly chilling and gruesome at times, there is also a lot of humour in the script of Misery and this production captures both sides of the action. A quality and entertaining production. 4K

FRINGE: Fleeto – Theatre – Holden Street Theatres – 4K

Fleeto is powerful theatre. It is a revealing, and rather depressing, journey into the world of the lower classes, which are looked down upon and often feared by others. 4K

FRINGE: His Ghostly Heart – Theatre – Holden Street Theatres – 4K

This is a distinctive theatrical experience and a fine production of a well written, thought-provoking play. The two performers create a realistic and emotive picture despite the sensory deprivation. 4K
