All in all, a fabulous play given its full opportunity to amuse and shock in equal portions by a fine and dedicated cast. A worthwhile venture beyond the Fringe to the Hills. 4K

Adelaide Fringe 2013 – 3 Acquaintances – The Crown and Anchor
Someone recently said to me that there is so much comedy in the Adelaide Fringe in 2013 that there should be a separate comedy festival – and I am inclined to agree with them. The Adelaide Fringe has three distinct tiers of comedy now – the top national and international comedians who command sell-out shows …

Adelaide Fringe – Macbeth’s Witches – The Garage International at NACC

FRINGE 2013 – Shakespeare for Kids – Romeo and Juliet – Holden Street Theatres
I’m a Shakespearean purist. With the single exception of Ethan Hawke’s 2000 version of Hamlet and maybe one or two Kenneth Branagh adaptations floating around here or there, if it’s not adhering strictly to the Shakespearean script it’s generally not good enough for me. So I was a little anxious about how a show could …

FRINGE 2013 – Mr Badger tells The Wind in the Willows – Adelaide Botanic Gardens
Everyone knows that kids are the hardest critics to please. Judging by this criterion, Chris John as Mr Badger won the 2013 Fringe Festival critics choice award, because he managed to enthral a very picky pair of 4 and 6 year old sisters and their stepmum and daddy.
