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.

Review: The Play That Goes Wrong
Playing at the Comedy Theatre, Melbourne until March 26
