"When you die, you're gonna regret the things that you don't do," and one of those things will be not seeing this production of Glengarry Glen Ross. In a constrained and then expansive Bakehouse Theatre, four desperate, brash, scared characters buzz and crash and yell...

Do you consider yourself "good people"? That really is the underlying theme and question of this latest production by the Adelaide Repertory Theatre of David Lindsay-Abaire's Good People. Set in Boston, the play centres on the character of Margaret (Rachel Burfield),...

In the midst of a chilly winter, a delightfully hilarious play has fallen from the comedy heavens into the laps of audiences at the Tea Tree Players Theatre. Robert Andrews has directed a well-paced production of Alan Ayckbourn's Roleplay in which a couple, Julie-Ann...
