 PAX IN PAX'S MAGIC CARPET RIDE at Fringe Bar, Cnr Cuba & Vivian reviewed by Maraea Rakuraku 3 May 2013 |
|
Refreshing if hesitant The gig kicks off with a filmed clip of Pax recording on streets around central Auckland. Well I’m assuming it is because he starts in Aotea Square. It’s a bit loose and has that tv-hit-up-randoms-on-the-street-vibe so there’s nothing new there. What is new is that there is a single Asian. As anyone will tell you, in central Auckland that’s a rarity. So, either there’s selective editing or the recordings are a collage. Whatever, it’s funny. [more] |

Brilliant if flawed play done ingeniously Rich in symbolism and allegory, the play articulates behaviours, belief systems and metaphysical concepts yet to be formalised in the social sciences, and even adds a touch of what we now call post-modern deconstruction. [more] |

Graduation triumph This year’s graduation production for the third year acting students as well as the entertainment technology, performing arts management and performance design students is a knock out. [more] |

Rough-textured play deftly produced Back in my student days, the male ballet was a regular highlight of annual capping shows, with prop-forward-type blokes in tutus doing the graceful Swan Lake thing (sort of) – and how they must have worked their butts off to get to do it as well as they did! It was wonderfully funny. [more] |
 PENINSULA at Circa One reviewed by John Smythe 26 Feb 2012 |
|
Essential theatre in every respect Nearly seven years ago I wrote that Gary Henderson's Peninsula was "clearly destined to become a classic". I now have to revise that opinion: it is a classic – and insofar as its insights into individual and communal human experience are timeless and universal, it always has been. [more] |

Seismic rumblings Family epics are the stuff of theatre – there is such drama within most families, tensions and jealousies, power plays and the ultimate journey, from childhood to adulthood. [more] |
 PENNY ASHTON’S HOT PINK TEETH ’N’ TITS at Limelight Lounge, Aotea Centre reviewed by Lexie Matheson 12 May 2011 |
|
No place to hide, for her or us in deep-felt romp with pathos Penny Ashton is a winner, but she wasn’t always. Although this show is unashamedly all about Penny – she says so a number of times – like all good theatre it wheedles its way into the psyche of the audience in insidious ways and, in my case, brought back idiosyncratic memories in a powerful and unexpected way.

PENNY ASHTON’S HOT PINK TEETH ’N’ TITS at BATS reviewed by Christine Brooks 4 May 2011 |
|
Fizzing comedy served with a side of smarts and lycra Penny Ashton’s latest offering, Hot Pink Teeth 'n' Tits, is a smart, fun and funny show that delves into the world of beauty pageants. [more] |
 PENUMBRA at SKYCITY Theatre reviewed by Kate Ward-Smythe 14 Mar 2007 |
|
Flawed but touching epic Penumbra will speak volumes to many New Zealanders, through its personal inter-generational, multi-cultural stories, which incorporate defining moments from our country’s recent history. Because the content comes largely from the ideas and experiences of bright, fresh New Zealand minds, younger generations in particular, will empathise with Penumbra. [more] |
