This production attempts “radical changes to the script” but Wilde’s scintillating dialogue sparkles, even through mouthfuls of muffin. Young director Benedicta McGeown has searched for contemporary connections in the play but the ubiquity of social hypocrisy needs no reimagining. McGeown may have altered how the show looks but the actors still allow the words do the work. Each well-known bon mot finds its target.

Blaas is the ultimate audience immersion experience. It is like being in a friendly alien abduction!

Blaas (or blow) hails from the Netherlands. It is unique in that the stars of the show are two big bags of air. Sounds unlikely, but true. However, there is a degree of preparation that we, the audience, must undergo so we can interact with these ‘entities’.

Gravity & Other Myths explore order and chaos with their new show, grounded in theatre, but soaring in acrobatics, contemporary dance and movement that defies definition.

It’s a pleasure to report that Michelle Pearson’s gift - for connecting with audiences and making them feel special - is as strong as ever, in her latest cabaret concept Just Desserts.

She serves sweets that are simply sublime, supplemented by a series of cover songs (some of them clever medleys) delivered with equal parts strength, sincerity, and soulfulness, while generating suspense via audience involvement, and demonstrating tremendous empathy through her telling of life’s experiences - some amusing, others poignant.
