FESTIVAL – Water Stains on the Wall – Cloud Gate Dance Theatre of Taiwan – 2.5K

For those of you who are interested in technical brilliance only, this show is well worth purchasing a ticket to. For everybody else, unless you have an amazing attention span this show is not recommended. Although beautiful to watch, ‘Water Stains’ is heavy going. 2.5K

FESTIVAL – A Streetcar – Festival Theatre – 2K

At the end of the day, a play stands or falls on its message but when an audience has to struggle so hard to make head or tail of what is happening, no amount of fancy bathroomware, video or histrionics can close the gap. This Streetcar simply left its audience behind. 2K

FESTIVAL – Instructions for an Imaginary Man – Adelaide Gaol – 3.5K

Theatre that truly removes you from one’s comfortable world and places you in that of the production is rare and this aspect was a triumph. However, more attention to the needs of the audience may have helped round out a most emotive experience. 3.5K
