|
Awkwardly stuck Buddypalfriend investigates the concept (and experience) of the ‘Friend zone’, defined by Wikipedia as “a platonic relationship wherein one person wishes to enter into a romantic relationship, while the other does not.” [more] |
 BUFFOON'S BIRTHDAY at BATS reviewed by John Smythe 20 Feb 2010 |
|
Maybe it all made sense once … This one belongs in the WTF? category, not because it defies categorisation (it is Theatre) but because whatever it is about or means is something the production fails to share with its audience. “I have no idea what was going on,” was a common comment in the foyer following the opening performance.

 BUNKERS at The Basement, Lower Greys Ave reviewed by Nik Smythe 15 May 2009 |
|
Divergent wit fails to fly The story is of a Nuclear winter, where all the survivors of the apocalypse are pared off into functionally designed bunkers, waiting for the fallout to pass and all the zombies and mutants outside to expire. [more] |

Pretty good bang for your buck Arriving late is inadvisable; we scraped in by the skin of our teeth due to the nightmare of finding a car park. My complimentary tickets had been sold and we were lucky that a man who knew I wasn’t pretending to be a reviewer was within earshot. We hotfoot it to the bar and grab a generously poured wine then scuttle inside. [more] |

Skilful, popular and gently thought-provoking Since the 1990s, burlesque performance has undergone a series of revivals and reinterpretations. This has been driven by several, often competing, factors, and hence agreement over the nature of burlesque remains difficult to attain. [more] |
 BURLESQUE AS YOU LIKE IT – THE BLUSH REVIEW at Crunchie Comedy Chamber, Town Hall reviewed by Megan Smith 12 May 2010 |
|
Fun, talent and energy sans je ne sais quoi Red stocking legs dangling mid-air, a sexy female singer wearing a red sequinned lace dress drapes seductively over a black shiny piano, a trio male chorus support her breathy Eartha Kitt rendition…. what a delightful beginning! [more] |

Lively dialogue in a loveless world Pirandello had six characters go off in search of an author. In Burnt Coffee Charlotte Simmonds has her playwright, Katrina, and her two characters, Raghed and Jason, go off in search of a play. On the way they find in this tricky piece of metatheatre a plot set in Wellington 2005 about an eternal triangle that has echoes of the plot of Medea by Euripides. [more] |

Detestable trio In Burnt Coffee, Charlotte Simmonds has written both a riff on the Medea tragedy and an analysis of the agony of playwriting. She launched her new book of poetry on opening night and there is a definite poetic quality and succinctness to her plays. [more] |
 BUS STOP at TAPAC Theatre, Western Springs reviewed by Lexie Matheson 21 Feb 2013 |
|
Courageous look at a complex issue Zac has hanged himself from a tree in the garden of his home. He was young, had friends, was seemingly popular so it’s all a bit of a mystery as to why he would do such a thing. It seems everyone has an investment in Zac’s death and so the myth-making begins.
