As the lights come up on a house in 1958 London, we see Philip and Oliver in the doorway. They are meeting for the first time – Oliver works with Philip’s wife Sylvia – and there’s a sense of excitement. But it’s tense: the feelings they’re experiencing are forbidden and Philip, at least, must hide them. It’s all clear as they stand awkwardly in the doorway: a powerful first moment in this wonderful production of an award winning play.

Packemin's production of the Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents classic West Side Story was a strong traditional portrayal of the Romeo and Juliet themed musical.

Doctor in the House, which has just finished its FringeWorld season in Perth, started a little late, which given that this show is about life as a General Practitioner, is perhaps unsurprising.

Billed as a comedy, it might better be described as a cabaret, but as we are told, they don't sell as well as Comedy, and our performer Dr. Ahmed Kazmi is determined to raise as much money as possible for the Cancer Council.

Those familiar with The Blue Room Theatre will know that audience members (usually) need to walk completely across the stage to reach the seating area. As you enter for Inside We Hide, you need to be careful not only not to trip over potatoes on the floor, but to avoid treading on actors as well.

Ann-Marie Biagioni has created an intriguing thriller, where three people are being held prisoner in an unknown place, while someone of importance to them is being tortured on the outside. To add to the confusion, their captor appears to be a little girl.
