During September Brisbane has the unusual situation of two different versions of the Grimm Brothers classic fairytale Snow White playing main stages during September 2016. Peter Pinne reports.

First up is the exclusive Brisbane appearance of France’s Ballet Preljocaj performing Snow White as part of QPAC International Series and the Brisbane Festival. It plays the Lyric Theatre, QPAC, from the 2nd September until the 11th.

With Around The World in Eighty Days ready to burst onto our stages, Coral Drouyn talks to leading man Ian Stenlake.

Ian Stenlake is exactly what you would expect from one of our most prolific leading men; charming, self-effacing and warm, not to mention easy on the eye, though he admits he was even more so a decade ago.

Peter Pinne reports.

With reviewers calling it “an instant classic” and “could be better than the movie”, Tim Minchin’s musical version of the beloved Bill Murray movie Groundhog Day this week received a five star reception when it opened at London’s Old Vic.

The Woman in Black, the first production of new theatre company RedFox 3, opens on Saturday 20th August and Coral Drouyn talks to its director and founder.

Back in 2013, a production of The Woman in Black at a small outer suburbs community theatre started everybody talking and picked up every award going. The fact that the play had been running for over 20 years in London may have helped a little, but it was the Gothic Steam Punk vision of director Justin Stephens that caused the buzz.
