Reviews
Fleabag, National Theatre Live
Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s one-woman show leaves you wanting more – so luckily there’s two seasons of the TV series too.
The Sea & Us by Catherine de Saint Phalle
Novels of this quality are a rare and pleasurable event.
Stop Being Reasonable by Eleanor Gordon-Smith
Eleanor Gordon-Smith is a philosopher with the ability to convey complex ideas with exceptional lucidity.
The Innocent Reader by Debra Adelaide
Debra Adelaide’s collected essays offer forthright insight on living alongside books.
The Godmother by Hannelore Cayre
A refreshing novel for its focus on a middle-aged female protagonist and her ongoing hustle.
The Cherry Picker’s Daughter by Aunty Kerry Reed-Gilbert
Reed-Gilbert’s memoir is a touching if somewhat disjointed ode to the fearless woman who raised her against all odds.
Film Review: Joker misses any punchlines
Soaking in high production values, pop culture winks and easy nihilism, Joker is all tricks and no fun.
Bernie Dieter’s Little Death Club, Wonderland Spiegeltent (VIC)
A smutty and delightful performance that makes other cabarets look tame.
The Divers’ Game by Jesse Ball
A succinct, exposing look at a community in ethical crisis – with shattering parallels to our own.
Invisible Cities, Brisbane Festival (QLD)
A spectacular work of dance imprisoned in a plodding narrative.
