Stephen Vagg has written a funny, clever, and closely observed short play. The talented Tammy Tresillian and Simon Chugg bring Vagg’s sidekicks and heroes to life, performing in front of enthusiastic audiences at the excellent PIP Theatre. Get along if you can and see if you agree with my list of favourite moments.
Read MoreThe Great Gatsby is a high-energy show that deserves to sell-out: fantastic direction of a great cast, in a beautifully staged and thought-provoking adaptation.
Read MoreDV Live’s Love Actually? A Musical Parody gets a definitely, absolutely, solid NO from me. I just hope you read this review first, as the terms and conditions are very firmly ‘no refunds.’

Read MoreFabulous direction, great casting, and an excellent team of creatives that makes for the must see show of the year—or possibly the Queensland Theatre Company production of the decade. A Few Good Men gets a 6-star, 10 out of 10 rating from me.
Read MoreMaybe It’s Only Us is an incredible new multilayered work that showcases the skills of the young Flipside Circus artists, and also celebrates the fabulous Brisbane Circus Centre. An inspiring, high-energy, must-see show.
Read MoreFrom the opening dance, showcasing Clare Dark and Buddy Malbasias’s Budots moves, Bahala/o is high energy, and completely captivating. Expect to be wowed, entertained, and possibly to be covered in dry rice.
