Fringe: WA Exposé
⭐️⭐️⭐️ and a half. WA Exposé sells itself as a rapid-fire variety show that allows audiences to experience a wide range of performance arts. From drag and burlesque, to comedy and circus, the aim of the show is to well, expose, people to art forms they may not otherwise consider. It sounds like a great…
Fringe: Bogan Shakespeare Presents: Romeo and Juliet
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Shakespeare is revered for being a master playwright. However, as pretty as his words are, they do not hold the attention of the masses. Unless someone in majoring in English at university or has a special interest in Shakespeare, people are not inclined to spend time dissecting the text and examining the historical context….
Fringe: Impromptunes: Tune Your Own Adventure
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am a big fan of improvisational comedy (improv); I love watching how quick improv artists are thinking on their feet. One of my favourite improv comedians is Wayne Brady. He is known to come up with full songs, complete with dance moves, at the drop of a hat. When I heard that the…
Fringe: A Simple Space
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perth had a taste of Gravity and Other Myths (GOM) in Winter last year, as part of the inaugural Re//Perth Festival. This dynamic troupe is back to wow audiences with A Simple Space.

Under Streetlights
Under Streetlights opens on a somber note. Eighteen year old Ella has just lost her mother. While taking a breather from the wake, she hears music and is instantly drawn to it. She is impressed to learn that it is one of the bar staff’s creations. Izak, records at home, a ramshackle house in the…
Ghost Cat Anzu
When I first watched a trailer for Ghost Cat Anzu, I thought that I was going to be in for a reimagining of Studio Ghibli’s signature movie, My Neighbour Totoro. Both movies feature children befriending otherwordly creatures, perhaps we’d be in for another heartwarming tale. However, that’s where the resemblance ends. While Studio Ghibli is…
Audrey
“Self-appointed Mother of the Year, Ronnie has given her daughter Audrey everything, so when Audrey selfishly falls into a coma, Ronnie has no choice but to keep their dreams alive by assuming her identity.” You can be forgiven for dismissing Audrey as another drama centred around pageant mum syndrome, based on the official synopsis above….
