The Good Room's Let's Be Friends Furever is a cozy, heartfelt blanket for both canines and humans.

It has taken the Queensland Shakespeare Ensemble until its twentieth birthday year to finally mount a full production of what is arguably Shakespeare's best-known play...Romeo & Juliet.

A show with many Roses, Act React's Titanic: The Move, the Play is a hilarious adapatation of one of cinema's biggest blockbusters and to be honest, I actually think it's better than the movie and I've never even watched the movie in English...
