Written by one of Canada’s most acclaimed playwrights, Girl in the Goldfish Bowl is hilarious, yet heart breaking. The award-winning play brings back the absurdity, pain and beauty of growing up. See post for details of its season at the Bakehouse from April 18.

Nosferatu, Dunstan Playhouse, 2K
The classic tale of Nosferatu was reimagined for modern audiences by Polish writer/director Grzegorz Jarzyna. This minimalist reworking brings Bram Stoker’s classic gothic novel into the 21st century. The set at the Dunstan Playhouse was marvellously designed, a large, malleable performing space allowed for a series of environments to come to life. The lighting worked …

Adelaide Fringe 2013 – Alice in the Madhouse – The Birdcage
It is upsetting that my favourite show of the 2013 Adelaide Fringe, in my favourite venue of this year’s festival, was discovered so close to the end of the season. First to the venue – The Birdcage is one of the seemingly dozens of pop-up theatres around the state at the moment. Located in the …

ADELAIDE FRINGE 2013 – Les Deux Amis – presented by Jean Francois Gavanon
It was pleasing to see a show as unique and eccentric as Les Deux Amis, a recitation of various fables from the 17th century French poet Jean de la Fontaine – in French – play to a sell-out crowd during the Fringe. Performed by Jean Francois Gavanon, in countless different guises including a monkey, a …

FRINGE 2013 – Bombay to Beijing by Bicycle – Bakehouse Theatre – 4K
By Alana Massalsky “Bombay to Beijing by Bicycle”: got quite a nice ring to it thinks Russell, could be a punchy title for a travel book. Too bad Bombay is now called Mumbai, and to write a book about it he’ll have to actually do it. Russell McGilton is our tour guide for the duration …
