Keep Sleeping, Beauty is a thought-provoking piece of theatrical performance art that at times is entertaining and disturbing in equal measure. Creator/performer Leah Sheldon, in collaboration with Director Ursula Martinez and a strong team of fellow-creatives, delivers an energetic, provocative, and challenging work that leaves audiences with plenty to talk about after the show..

Congratulations to all involved with the 2026 4MBS Shakespeare Festival. Excellent performances, and it was wonderful to see the way in with the director cleverly incorporated the ‘front stage’ area to create more a sense of immediacy and connection with the audience, with great costuming, and clever audience engagement.

The Paige Turner Bookshop is a gentle, wholesome, and cleverly crafted play that would work just as well as the basis of a film—and is hopefully destined for an extended 2027 theatrical tour of schools and performance spaces.

I strongly recommend Constellations. I am sure it will encourage audience members to reflect on their own spilt-second decisions, and the ‘what if’ outcomes that might been. Buy a ticket if you can, queue up to select a seat at or near the front, and thank me later.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Jr was an excellent choice for this mainstage Superstars production. Take one much-loved story, build on the successes of the 2005 film, sprinkle in the talents of the Superstars students, and stir well. Under the leadership and direction of the talented Gabriella Flowers, you have a memorable and quite delectable show.

I will always look out for shows by Boyle, Sibthorpe, and/or QTC. However, although Small Mouth Sounds is an impressive development of their individual and collective practice, I am only recommending this show to friends who are real fans of absurdist theatre, or who are intrigued to experience a production that so cleverly inverts and challenges more conventional theatrical events.

After the first ten minutes or so, one of the Grade 2 students sitting behind me was heard to say, ‘I love this show;’ clearly a young reviewer who will go far! I am sure The Cubby will continue to inspire everyone who sees it: to seek out opportunities to take a few Flipside Circus lessons, or find other ways in which to experience the joy of being playful, active, and creative.
