People Will Think You Don’t Love Me Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

“The world premiere of Joanna Erskine’s “People Will Think You Don’t Love Me” is a breathtaking psychological thriller that explores the boundaries of love, loss, and identity. Rooted in Sydney’s unique heartbeat, this production captures both the familiar and the uncanny, drawing audiences into an intimate yet disorienting world. Performed at the compact KXT Theatre near Broadway and presented by Little Trojan in association with Bakehouse Theatre Company, this haunting tale showcases the power of local storytelling in a setting filled with creativity and emotional resonance.”

Shakespeare in Love
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

“The comedic elements shine brightly, with the audience laughing out loud at the sharp wit and physical humour sprinkled throughout. The cast delivers their lines with palpable energy, and there’s an undeniable charm to their collective performance. Standout performances include Raechyl French as Kit Marlowe, whose sharp comic timing and grounding presence added depth to the character. Kim Clifton, as Viola de Lesseps, portrayed the character with a tender, sentimental touch that resonated deeply with the audience. Meanwhile, Lynn Roise delighted as the Nurse, bringing infectious humour to the role before seamlessly shifting into the commanding persona of Queen Elizabeth.”

Peter and the Starcatcher
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 / 5

“Peter Pan; or, The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up, J.M. Barrie’s classic tale from 1904, has inspired numerous adaptations and retellings. As a result, most people are familiar with Peter Pan, Captain Hook, and the Lost Boys. Peter and the Starcatcher explores how the story of Neverland and its inhabitants came to be.”

SIX 👑


“Forget everything you know about Henry VIII’s wives, because ‘Six the Musical’ is rewriting history with sass, soul, and spectacle at the Theatre Royal Sydney. This isn’t your typical lesson in Tudor history – it’s an electric, unapologetic pop concert that reclaims the voices of the six wives of Henry VIII, giving each queen her moment to stand centre stage and set the record straight. And these Aussie queens are absolute fire.”

The 40-minute piece is a fast-paced performance that closely explores the close-knit relationships with homelands, migration to Australia, culture and family through physical expression”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“What do Macbeth and a driven high school netball player have in common?
Nothing (you may think!). However, the new Australian musical, “Lady Macbeth Played Wing Defence,” presented by Crash Theatre Company at the Melbourne Fringe Festival, hilariously proved that notion wrong.

As the Dunsinane Hellhound’s school netball team prepares for the inter-school tournament, Macbeth (Orla Poole), known as Mac for short, is eager to be named captain. However, when Coach Duncan (Courtney McManus) selects Chloe MacDuff (Shannon Rogers) as the captain instead, Mac becomes distraught.”

Cost of Living

Another stellar review by .ham 💚

“Theatre serves as a platform for portraying life stories. However, many real-life stories are often considered too complex to be presented on stage. However, the 2018 Pulitzer Prize-winning play The Cost of Living, directed by Anthea Williams and performed by the Melbourne Theatre Company, focuses on the intricate and interconnected experiences of disability, caregiving, and of course, the cost of living.”
