A bird, a tree, the moon
Regular readers will know that Ms TN has spent the past few years vainly attempting to find a balanced life.
The Drowning Girls Reviewed by Annie Davis at Time Out Melbourne, 19 February, 2012
The Drowning Girls
From the moment you take your seat in the auditorium, The Drowning Girls is a production that unnerves your every sense.
Bad Blood Blues Reviewed by Chris Boyd at The Australian, 19 February, 2012
Bad Blood Blues
Written by English guitarist and playwright Paul Sirett, Bad Blood Blues focuses on a rapidly developing relationship between a Western scientist working in Africa and a courteous young man.

Two by Two

The Drowning Girls
Three brides, three bath tubs, three murders and all with enough in common to prompt Scotland Yard to investigate and sentence to death Edwardian bigamist and serial killer George Joseph Smith.
Lady Chatterley's Lover Reviewed by Kate Herbert at Kate Herbert Theatre Reviews, 12 February, 2012
Lady Chatterley's Lover
D.H. Lawrence's novel Lady Chatterley's Lover, was scandalous in its time and Glenn Elston’s adaptation captures its boldness, sensuality and dense, passionate prose in this outdoor romp.
La Vie Reviewed by Kate Herbert at Kate Herbert Theatre Reviews, 12 February, 2012
La Vie
La Vie is the third show I’ve seen by Montreal circus company Les 7 Doigts de la Main and the programme of acts certainly embodies the dexterity and absurdity of a seven-fingered hand.
Two By Two Reviewed by Bryan Fox, 12 February, 2012
Two By Two
A dark, apocalyptic story set in a world where fast-rising floodwaters have occasioned the construction of an ark to save (at least some of) the human race.
Good People Reviewed by Chris Boyd at The Australian, 9 February, 2012
Good People
An anthropologist backtracking through the high points of US stage drama would probably end up back in Europe with Ibsen.
Good People Reviewed by Elly Varrenti at The Age, 9 February, 2012
Good People
Good People explores its territory with an entertaining and keen mix of disinhibited humour and a sociologist's eye for the relationship between birth and destiny, class and fate, good and bad.
