Review: METAMORPHOSES at the Baxter Studio Is Liquid Food of the Gods
by Jaime Uranovsky - September 06, 2024
I’ve loved Greek mythology since I was little. This probably had a lot to do with Rick Riordan’s fabulous Percy Jackson series. It’s been a while since I engaged with the content and this production sucked me right back in and reminded me how enchanting Greek mythology is. But it takes a special kin...

by Faeron Wheeler - July 16, 2024
There's something special about being invited into a story that's deeply personal. PIECES OF ME is Bo Petersen's family history, and it is her relationship with her father.

Review: MONIKA, IT'S ME at The Drama Factory
by Faeron Wheeler - July 11, 2024
Klara van Wyk has a wonderful brand of humour and heart, and it's on display once again in MONIKA, IT'S ME. It's a beautiful piece of theatre. It makes you laugh, cry and think - and that's a good thing....
