Crows Theatre - Grounded

Intense, riveting. Carly Street portrays descent into madness in a visceral way. I couldn't stop myself from fervently wishing someone could help. Amazing performance.

Factory Theatre - Lady Sunrise

A stellar cast powerfully presents six interrelated stories. No matter what their socioeconomic status, each women struggles with survival. Really clever set allowed the focus to remain centred on the stories.

National Geographic Live! - Adventures Among Orangutans

Fascinating story about orangutans, dependent on the rainforest ecosystem. These animals, who most closely resemble us in DNA, are now endangered. Impressive family adventure too, as these researchers have been bringing their children with them to Borneo.

AGO - Illusions: The Art of Magic & Diane Arbus: Photographs 1956–1971

If you like street photography and interesting personalities you will like the Diane Arbus' show. We also enjoyed the illusions show - a fascinating history of the people who popularized this form of entertainment. Also, always make time for Kusama's mirrored room (book it as soon as you enter as it is very popular).

Sheridan Theatre - Cabaret

An excellent adaptation of this popular musical. Amazing performances from Ben Page as the emcee and Allison Ferrence as Sally Bowles. Fantastic show.
