Ho Ho Ho Hum Yo ho ho indeed. As predictable as the pleasantly over-indulged feeling that goes with the season, four of the talented pool making up the Court Jesters, spurred on by Scott Koorey as Master of Ceremonies, caper through some tried and tested Theatresports challenges, with varying success. Not every cracker has that snap we hope for. [more] |

Trust and solidarity gifts a right cracker There have been many popular formats for improvised shows over the years but the current showcase for the talents of this merry band would have to be one of the most successful on record. [more] |

Inventive immersion experience offers novel and surreal entertainment The ‘elite’ gather in the refurbished foyer of The Dark Room. They comprise a ‘super 14’ (give or take) guest list for what promises to be an exclusive occasion. Hosts Alice and Nathan Muggeridge themselves arrive fashionably late, seeing as how both had just come off stage from performances as someone else in The Gods of Warm Beer next door at Centrepoint.

Facing the future with Fortitude If you dream of a land where opera houses flourish in hitherto depressed communities from Cape Reinga to Bluff, then look no further than Cynthia Fortitude for Prime Minister.

A dotty comedy to clear the blues The bad news is that Cynthia Fortitude’s magnum opus is on hold. Balls!, the first rugby opera, is unlikely to see the light of day unless she wins the forthcoming general election and becomes P.M. [more] |
 AANANDA – THE DANCE OF JOY at Globe Theatre reviewed by Sharon Matthews 20 Mar 2012 |
|
Singular artistry Aananda - The Dance of Joy is a moment out of time, classical Indian dance at its very best, lyrical, evocative and visually and musically expressive.

NZ International Arts Festival AARERO STONE at Soundings - Te Papa reviewed by John Smythe (John Smythe: Theatre Reviews) 5 Mar 2006 |
