Review: ‘Me, My Mother and Suzy Cato’ at Melbourne Fringe Festival

Following a sell out season at Auckland Fringe where it won the award for ‘Outstanding Performance by an Individual’, Me, My Mother and Suzy Cato is playing at the Melbourne Fringe Festival until October 20th at Trades Hall, Music Room.

A delightful, touching, nostalgia-filled trip back to the turn of the millennium, a time where Y2K paranoia ran rampant and the only thing a mobile phone could do was send a text; Me, My Mother and Suzy Cato is the brainchild of talented New Zealand actor, writer and producer, Florence Hartigan, who has crafted a sweet and nuanced coming of age tale.

Review: Six at Melbourne’s Comedy Theatre (2024)

SIX is a musical about the ex-wives of King Henry VIII, who held the English throne from the age of 17 in 1509 until his death in 1547. But this is not a stuffy, old retelling of history. No, no. Writers Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss have taken some creative liberties injecting modern-day language, mobile phones and dating norms such as swiping left or right on a potential match.

It’s a concept that shouldn’t work, and yet it does brilliantly.

Review: ‘Elegies: A Song Cycle’ at fortyfivedownstairs, Melbourne (2024)

Elegies: a song cycle is a show for a very specific theatre goer. It is for the ones who don’t need showiness, rather, those who appreciate the simplicity of engrossing vocalisation and lyricism.

Review: ‘Sunset Boulevard’ at Melbourne’s Princess Theatre (2024)

It’s been two days since I saw Opera Australia and GWB Entertainment’s production of Sunset Boulevard, and I’m still conflicted on whether or not I enjoyed it. But, in retrospect, I would like to see it again, and I suppose that’s the greatest compliment of all.
