Hypnotic weave The Keepers is a devised work that weaves together elements of theatre, live music and dance or physical movement. Lighthouse keeper Margaret (Veronica Brady) lives alone until rescuing the drowning Nina (Julia Croft). [more] |
![]() THE KETTLE OF ALLEN AND MAX at The Adelaide, 114 Adelaide Rd, Newtown reviewed by Jackson Coe 21 Feb 2008 |
|
Glimmers of potential The script has potential, but would be suited better as a television sitcom. At times I felt that a laugh track would have been in order. The show is unnecessarily long, and could do with half the amount of words rather than a ten minute interval. [more] |
![]() THE KIDS SHOW at TAPAC Theatre, Western Springs reviewed by Julia Barry 7 Oct 2009 |
|
Happy and engaging confirmation that dance is for everyone Warm and snug in the TAPAC theatre, the audience is treated to an exciting mix of highly entertaining dances and short films, including hip hop, ballet, jazz, contemporary dance and ‘Bollywood’ genres. [more] |
![]() THE KIDS SHOW (2012) at Q Theatre, Rangatira reviewed by Felicity Molloy 14 Oct 2012 |
|
Beyond the ordinary idea of performing dance From circus arts, funksta hiphop, imaginative contemporary, introverted interpretive, pure classical ballet, Scottish dance and sweet jazz, the programme takes us through an eclectic mix of styles, some genre diversity, brief cultural representation, and little difference in terms of performance confidence, ability and enthusiasm. Central to the works on show are themes of grace, the dancers pleasing themselves as-well as the audience, tantalizing leggy efforts and a restored musicality. [more] |
![]() THE KITCHEN AT THE END OF THE WORLD at Greytown Little Theatre, Main Street reviewed by Michael Wilson 19 Oct 2012 |
|
Impressive yet curiously uninvolving In a clever conceit of self-referencing, they never pretend to represent flesh-and-blood human beings, frequently referring to themselves as marionettes, with a nice running gag about their strings becoming brittle with age, looking slender etc. [more] |
![]() THE KRANSKY SISTERS at Comedy Chamber, Town Hall, THE EDGE reviewed by Sian Robertson 3 May 2009 |
|
Creepy trio The musical Kransky Sisters aren’t your usual recipe for a knee-slapping comedy show. The attraction is in their understated, unsettling performances and the sense created by a flawless adherence to their oddly naïve characters that perhaps these women aren’t acting at all. [more] |
![]() THE KRANSKY SISTERS at Glenroy Auditorium reviewed by Clare Thomson 9 Oct 2010 |
|
Brilliant comediennes also excellent musicians Like a lot of the best comedy, to fully appreciate the Kransky Sisters you really had to be there. Try to imagine if you will a medley of Thriller, Beat It, and Billy Jean, sung by your old speech teacher in two-part harmony accompanied by tuba, saw, and tambourine, and you might catch a glimpse of the virtuosity of the Sisters.

![]() THE KREUTZER at BATS reviewed by John Smythe 15 Nov 2007 |
|
A memorable work of theatrical art An essay in the nature of lust, love, marriage and jealousy from a very male perspective, performed by an actor, dancer, six musicians and a video artist, The Kreutzer could well be subtitled Fear and (Self-) Loathing in Russian Wedlock. As the second of the year’s STAB season offerings at BATS, it offers a rich, absorbing and provocative 70 minutes of theatre. [more] |
![]() THE KREUTZER at BATS reviewed by Laurie Atkinson (The Dominion Post) 17 Nov 2007 |
|
Remarkable – and enthralling In 1890 Moscow when Tolstoy’s sensational story The Kreutzer Sonata was first circulated before the Tsar’s censors got hold of it, Muscovites greeted each other with not “How do you do?” but with “Have you read The Kreutzer Sonata?” The same could well apply here: Have you seen The Kreutzer at Bats?

![]() THE KREUTZER at BATS reviewed by Lynn Freeman (Capital Times) 21 Nov 2007 |
|
Highly original, multi layered work The Kreutzer is elegant, seductive, disturbing and beautiful, all in one. The central story, the confession of a man who murdered his wife is repelling, the Beethoven and Janacek music performed live on stage, with the musicians haunting and taunting the man, burrows right into your soul.
