Jasper Jones Theatre Review
Set in the dying days of 1965, the play pulls no punches is showing how difficult it was growing up in a small town where racial intolerance was the tone of the day and the grind of daily boredom was never far away. Into this environment Charlie, a boy who dreams large comes face to face with many of life’s ugly truths while he acts as the show’s narrator.
The play is presented in a brisk fashion, with the clever use of a revolving stage and having the actors play multiple roles to ...
Lysa and the Freeborn Dames Theatre Review
Three angelic women (Barbara Lowing, Roxanne McDonald and Hsiao-Ling Tang) play host and impart words of wisdom to both actor and audience. Their words are part truth, part humour and always cut to the heart of the matter. The laughs keep the lessons from becoming too heavy while still imparting universal truths.
The play also gives key scenes more than one point of view, often times replaying a scenario with dramatically different outcomes. This gives the audience the ability to ...

Letters to Lindy coming to the Brisbane Powerhouse!
Filled with humour and heartbreak, this stunning work by award-winning playwright Alana Valentine (Parramatta Girls, Head Full of Love) explores the public’s relationship with one of 20th Century Australia’s most iconic figures, Lindy Chamberlain.
The story captivated a nation. A mother accused of murdering her child, her claim – that the baby was taken by a dingo – denied and discredited by zealous police and a flawed legal system. The media circus, the rumours, the mob ...
