 THE BITCHES’ BOX at Q Theatre Loft, 305 Queen St reviewed by Matt Baker (Theatre Scenes - Auckland Theatre Blog) 22 Feb 2013 |

Hot Dog! After forty-two shows across the country in their (literal) Woolshed Tour, actresses Emma Newborn and Amelia Guild finally bring their two-woman show to Auckland for the 2013 Fringe Festival. “Born out of a dream and desire to provide rural audiences a chance to have a truly unique night out with their neighbours”, if the show was received as well on tour as it was on its opening night in the City of Sails, it could only have been an unreserved success.

 BUS STOP at TAPAC Theatre, Western Springs reviewed by Matt Baker (Theatre Scenes - Auckland Theatre Blog) 22 Feb 2013 |

Any minute now… Youth suicide. It’s an unquestionably prevalent and heavy-handed topic, and it’s been chosen as the theme for Dark Horse Productions’ (a group of eight of The Actors’ Program graduates) fringe show. [more] |
 DOLLY MIXTURE at The Basement, Lower Greys Ave reviewed by James Wenley (Theatre Scenes - Auckland Theatre Blog) 22 Feb 2013 |
|
Gross-out Dolly Horror Thomas Sainsbury and Yvette Parsons’s previous work together typically tend to features unsavory oddballs, extracting comedy from social awkwardness and character eccentricities. This style is once again at play in Dolly Mixture in which the premise sees Crispin Merriweather (Sainsbury) boarding at the residence of Beverly Beavington (Parsons) who restores dolls as her hobby.

 TIM DIBLEY. MASTERCLASS. at The Basement, Lower Greys Ave reviewed by Matt Baker 22 Feb 2013 |
|
Christ knows he should be charging a lot more After three years of gradually and increasingly leaking the persona of Tim Dibley into the acting community’s collective consciousness, actor and casting director Eryn Wilson has finally taken the step from Facebook and YouTube to the stage in the premiere live performance of his ridiculous yet somewhat veracious alter-ego.

|
Authentic drama of two ill-fated Kiwis Most historical figures brought to life on stage from New Zealand's past are heroes in some way or other. But not so in Invercargill Invers Theatre's play A Cry Too Far From Heaven where the stories of two locals have been combined into a fascinating piece of theatre production. [more] |

 AN UNFORTUNATE WILLINGNESS TO AGREE at The Basement reviewed by Raewyn Whyte (NZ Herald) 22 Feb 2013 |
|
Dance in Week 1, Auckland Fringe Festival The nature of friendship is also at the heart of Salted Singlet's hour-long work An Unfortunate Willingness to Agree, set against a backdrop of the everyday complicity which lets us suspend our connections to matters of earth-shattering significance on a world scale, and our choices to let sleeping dogs lie when it comes to our closest relationships.

 MADAM X AND MISTER Q at Studio 77, VUW reviewed by John Smythe 22 Feb 2013 |
|
‘Make what you like of it’ mode makes for dispassionate observation My guess is that a Chinese readership, or audience, would detect a strong thread of political satire beneath the social critique but that dimension dissipates when played to an audience unfamiliar with day-to-day life in a radically changing China. What prevails, then, is an evocation of inter-personal petty politics. [more] |

Raucous entertainment with a purpose Written and directed by Alwyn Dale and Becca Barnes, this ocean comedy/drama manages to incorporate so many elements. There are laughs, there is drama and, best of all, we learn exactly what happens when mermaid and a human man create a ... WHAT exactly?! [more] |
