Fringe Review: Church of Wonders
I’d seen a few of the performers in ‘Church of Wonders’ previously, so I snapped up the opportunity to check out a show with a bigger cast and see what they’d get up to in the elegant Melba Spiegeltent. The Spiegeltent adds…

‘A Star is Bored‘ is Melbourne singer, actor, and general showoff Nick Eynaud’s premiere solo show. Over the course of an intimate hour Eynaud shares his first world problems (in musical form), struggles with the boredom of living in Reservoir…

Fringe Review: A Bee’s Dick Away
And again I chose a Fringe show — in this case, ‘A Bee’s Dick Away’ — predominantly because I liked the title (but also because of its promise of sharp social commentary). I know you shouldn’t judge a book by its…

Reminding us of the horrors of the past while challenging humanity’s ability to fall victim to the repetition of self-destruction and hate, ‘Destroy Solzhenitsyn‘ evokes contemplation about the role of the past in the future. Experiencing Solzhenitsyn’s post-Soviet life in…
