The Punter's Siren
"Gina Schien's script has delightfully original intentions as it navigates a day at the races (how 'Strayan) for a lone lesbian, Helen."
Reviews / Arts
All My Love

Reviews / Arts
The Pride
"For a touching, apt, and visceral analysis of queer male identity from 1958 through to today, this is unmissable."
Reviews / Arts
The Whale
"We see a man fixed to a couch, fixed to his weight, set fixedly upon one inevitable end."
Reviews / Arts
All Good Things

Meow Meow's Little Mermaid
"It promises to be a cornerstone of Sydney Festival's energetic programme."

Live Review: They've Already Won
"They dance, they drink, they 'act', they 'cry'. It's experimental theatre cum performance art cum fun — and a truckload of that last one."
Reviews / Arts
Dropped
"It is a fresh take on the horrors of war and what they might look like to a woman provocatively — and sombre too."
