One of the unexpected benefits for theatregoers, of a world disrupted by Covid, is that many International Artists have returned home to Perth. Two of many outstanding performers who are in Perth at the moment are Daniella Sicari and Eimear Foley, whose Fringe World show, Side by Side, presented by Aces at the Maj, is playing for a very short season.

The World Premiere of The Karaoke Club is presented by APK Productions for Fringe World at the Rosemount Hotel. A vibrant and engaging piece of work, it is being very well received and is well written, acted and presented.

Advertised to play at two venues, the second has fallen through at the last minute. Hopefully a further run can be secured, as this is a solid little production that deserves a bigger audience.

Mr and Mrs Smith, a jazz duo from WA’s south west, presented this tribute to the Speakeasy in The Gold Digger for Fringe World.

Great accessible jazz is presented with a history of the speakeasies, in a show that entertains and informs. The Fringe World version of this show is an hour-long version of what is usually a two hour show, but feels complete and satisfying in this format.

With the emergence of the Me Too! movement, it was only a matter of time before we got Me Too! The Musical, billed as a show which "hits hard and fast at the outrageous and horrifying behaviours women have had to endure over time and the impact it has on the women of today”.
