Just as Sydney theatre capacities have been lifted, arrives this perfectly timed brilliant production, which is up there with anything audiences have enjoyed streaming from the finest companies in the world. 

It began simply enough, with a bare stage and a single screen which Eryn Jean Norvill (the only actor in the production) was projected up onto, from a live broadcast.

The initial straightforward monologue was pleasant enough, as we focused on the fine porcelain features of her face and those deep expressive eyes.

Peter Pan has been a seasonal favourite production for almost 117 years - beloved of audiences over many generations. Wanneroo Repertory brings us this family classic, with updates for a modern audience.

Ripcord is, on the surface, a rollicking comedic gem.  However, as one expects from playwright Lindsay-Abaire, the layers beneath are where the riches of the story lie.

Securing a Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2007 for Rabbit Hole, American playwright, lyricist and screenwriter David Lindsay-Abaire excels in astute juxtapositions of comedy and tragedy within insightfully written texts.

The Importance of Being Earnest, while being one of the most oft produced plays in community theatre, is still a very popular choice for both audiences and theatre companies. Well done, as this production is, it cannot fail to charm - and remains an extremely funny play despite, as director Douglas Sutherland Bruce points out in his program notes, some of the satire now falling flat.
