FRINGE 2015 – Rust & Vinyl – Convention Centre – 4K

From the moment that the dulcet tones of Jacob Morris and then the uber voice of Tim Bartel led off there was a noticeable shortening of breath across the large audience in the Convention Centre Hall for it was obvious we were in for something special. 4K

FRINGE 2015 – Papillon – Gluttony – 3.5K

It is all rather good fun and while you can probably see better (‘death defying’) gymnastics elsewhere the humour and lower ticket prices make Papillon more than a safe choice. 3.5K

FRINGE 2015 – Le Gateau Chocolat – Icons – Garden / Deluxe – 1.5K

I think it a stretch to describe Le Gateau as a drag queen act, I think a man in drag would be sufficient. 1.5K

FRINGE 2015 – Antillia – J150 Rehearsal Room – 5K

This theatre cannot be recommended too highly – extraordinarily strong in all its elements. 5K

FRINGE 2015 – Is It Because I’m Indian? – Nexus – 3K

It was not disappointing, considering it was a lot of talking being done in the whole 60 minutes of something that everyone couldn’t really relate to. 3K

FRINGE 2015 – MUSH AND ME – HST – 3.5K

Given the currently increasing discussion about the role of the Muslim community in this country, Mush and Me is clear about how a modern cosmopolitan country needs to accept and respect in equal measure differing perspectives of God and the world around them. 3.5K

FRINGE 2015 – BLOOD AT THE ROOT – HST – 5K

How many theatre shows get a near spontaneous standing ovation and cheering from their audience – this was the stuff normally reserved for rock stars! 5K

THEATRE – Lally Katz – Stories I Want to Tell You in Person – 3.5K

The show is funny, Katz is on song throughout its 80 minutes and a nicely crafted costume change sets up the finale. In form it may seem like the type of show that fills the tents in February and March, but this is a class above that lot. 3.5K
