Noël Coward once said, “If you’re a star, you should behave like one. I always have.”

Present Laughter is arguably one of the pinnacles of Coward’s work. Written in 1939, The story concerns a famous stage star Garry Essendine, styled on Coward himself. While planning a tour of a play in Africa, he has affairs with a debutante and his producer's boyfriend, meets with an insane playwright, deals with his secretary's demands as well as those of his ex-wife.

THE AUSTRALIAN Concerto and Vocal Competition once again proved to be the quiet achievers on the Townsville event calendar, with a total of 59 performers competing over a period of five days for a total prize purse of $14,000.

The Woman in Black, adapted from Susan Hill’s novel, is a theatrical experience that has gripped audiences worldwide, and it’s easy to see why.
