 PACE at The Art Lounge (cnr Khartoum Pl & Lorne St) reviewed by Shanon O'Sullivan 19 Mar 2009 |
|
Stimulating contrasts Zahra and Alysha present a dynamic and intriguing duet that explores the roles of control and dictatorship within society and how it affects either the recipient or the authoritative self. [more] |
 THE MOON’S INSANE AND OTHER STORIES at The Wine Cellar, St Kevins Arcade (K Rd) reviewed by Jacob Tamaiparea 20 Mar 2009 |
|
Carried away by charming nonsensical momentum The Moon's Insane and other stories is an offering from dusty literatures; a reading from a book of nightmares told through a display of creepy, disconnected movement and read-aloud storytelling. [more] |
 THE NEEDIES at The Basement, Lower Greys Ave reviewed by Sian Robertson (2) 22 Apr 2009 |
|
You may find in discomforting, disgusting, sick-making as well as funny and thought-provoking I reviewed the premiere of The Needies last month in the Auckland Fringe Festival (click here to read it), so I won’t go into the story at length. This new season has one cast change – the female lead is played by Isla Adamson – and a new director, Abigail Greenwood. It has moved from Cross Street Studios to The Basement ... [more] |
 GESTALT at TAPAC Theatre, Western Springs reviewed by Nik Smythe (2) 4 Aug 2009 |
|
Geekville revisited The whole story is about things being greater than the sum of their parts, i.e. gestalt, with a measure of things being other than they seem plus a liberal helping of gratuitous romantic idealism. [more] |
 THE KREUTZER at Great Hall, The Arts Centre reviewed by Tony Ryan 7 Aug 2009 |
|
Inspirational for music enthusiasts and theatre-goers alike This adaptation, as devised by Peter Barber and Sarah Brodie, is a dramatisation of Tolstoy’s story with several telling and perceptive modifications that enable the musical works to play a significant part in the drama. [more] |
 THE HEIGHT OF THE EIFFEL TOWER at 4th Street Theatre, Manhattan reviewed by Kate McGill 16 Aug 2010 |
|
The height of good theatre: this show is a joy Morgana O’Reilly displays wonderful artistry; effortlessly morphing from character to character with vocal dexterity, physical panache and specificity. She and Abigail Greenwood have orchestrated a tight show that wonderfully intercuts full-blown belly laughs with softer, more intimate moments. [more] |
 THE ARRIVAL at Opera House reviewed by John Smythe 12 Mar 2010 |

Vivid imagery and humour The Arrival is a stand-out physical theatre production of exquisite visual artistry and astonishing ensemble work performed to a visceral soundscore. It has – and will – grace festival stages around the world and is not to be missed. [more] |

THE ARRIVAL at Opera House reviewed by Lynn Freeman (Capital Times) 17 Mar 2010 |
|
Poignant, full of feeling, often unnerving The Arrival, honed and polished after its Auckland Festival premiere and some overseas appearances, shows just what New Zealand theatre practitioners can do when given the chance and a decent budget. [more] |

THE ARRIVAL at Opera House reviewed by Ewen Coleman (The Dominion Post) 12 Mar 2010 |
|
Simple story told with captivating imagination Every immigrant’s nightmare: arriving in a new country faced with a strange new language, people and customs and the highs and lows of dealing with all this strangeness. [more] |
 NOSTALGIA – ISHINHA (JAPAN) at ASB Theatre, Aotea Centre reviewed by Kate Ward-Smythe 12 Mar 2009 |
|
Less than the sum of its extraordinary parts NOSTALGIA is a grand marathon 2-hour performance by Japan’s highly regarded Ishinha theatre company. It is the first part of a trilogy [which] symbolises the history of the 20th century in part by using a 4-metre high giant to show how ‘fat’ mankind has become in many regards. A timely resonance given the role greed has played in the current global economic downturn. [more] |
