Burn This, a psychodrama by esteemed American playwright Lanford Wilson is given a powerful and engrossing production here by a focussed cast, completely inside their characters and given nuanced and detailed direction by Ian Sinclair.  

Conceived by QPAC last year to reunite eager artists and enthusiastic audiences after the too-long closure of theatres, Club Cremorne is back by popular demand – the debut season in 2020 was a block of sold-out shows. This snazzy showcase of local, world-class talent is a welcome way to get back to the theatre and have some fun. With club-style table seating and a bar open throughout the performance, Club Cremorne provides excellent date-night or friends-out-together fun – a little bit cheeky and a whole lot entertaining.

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.
