The light fantastic

Article Abstract:

Vanishing Point, the latest offering from Frenchman Philippe Genty delves into the subconscious mind using puppets and stunning lights for brilliant visual effects. The show takes one through the realms of the other world where anything is possible, thus making the whole play an emotional experience where every audience member will interpret the story differently.

Orton to the Max: Joe Orton's confronting 1960s satire gets a modern outing

Article Abstract:

Max Gillies feels Joe Orton's 1967 satire, "What the Butler Saw" as one of the best comedies of the 20th century and does not want to alter it in anyway as it is relevant to today's society. Under the barrage of jokes, the play shows what happens to a society when individuals are pushed out of the shared nest of a common reality.

Day Shift

Article Abstract:

Alan Seymour's new play "The One Day of the Year" was inspired by an anti-Anzac Day article in a university student newspaper. Seymour does not think the play will have a large scale impact on attitudes to war, but he does hope it will stimulate lifelong changes in a few people.
