Stylish costumes and imaginatively devious Christchurch Improv troupe The Court Jesters are a professional bunch. They are seasoned improvisers who got the skills to pay the bills and this is apparent in their offering for the NZ Improv Fest: Death at Murder Manor. [more] |

A nudge is all it needs With acting, dancing and directing talents like this, what a pity the devised script doesn’t quite match them. Oh it’s fun all right, and a splendid vehicle for high energy performance, some wicked humour and a bizarre twisted ending. [more] |

Futuristic cheerleaders in unfunny bellyflop As we all know, there have been disasters of rugby games. How could we not know with the ABs playing France on Saturday? Disasters are not unknown in the theatre too. [more] |

A madcap, semi-clad, pom-pommed, psychotic romp Who cares, though, when you can go there to experience The CheerBlacks, an energetic, funny, talented and downright nasty, tarty trio of trouble. Who cares when the talent on offer far outstrips any issues with the venue as is certainly the case with Death by Cheerleader. [more] |

Evidence, chocolates and suspects Chocolate and a murder mystery? It’s a combination tailor made to get my attendance! I am a dedicated whodunnit fan, and the chance to play Miss Marple, or perhaps Hercule Poirot, is too good to miss. [more] |

World class production of modern classic When all the actors work so well together to authenticate each role and the play as a whole, major credit must go to the director, Susan Wilson. [more] See also reviews by: Ewen Coleman (The Dominion Post); |

Father and son's torment makes for gut-wrenching theatre In this production director Susan Wilson and her excellent cast gets to the heart of Miller’s ideals, drawing out all the emotional turmoil of Willy Loman and his family as they struggle for a better life, dreaming of what will never be as everything about slowly disintegrates.

Tragedy in commerce more relevant than ever In 1949, when all the post-war promises of the American Dream were still steadily on the rise, Arthur Miller saw an elephant in the room and wrote Death of a Salesman.

Classic reading of Miller a Peach Peach Theatre's reverential approach to Arthur Miller's 1949 classic offers a traditional reading that allows this 20th century masterpiece to speak for itself - with all its ambiguities and contradictions intact. [more] |
