Review - God of Carnage, Melbourne Theatre Company

What happens when eleven year old Ferdinand whacks his playmate Bruno with a stick in a neighbourhood park and knocks his front two teeth out? Is it just pure innocence and part of kids growing up or simply a case of backyard bullying? It is important for parents to set the right example for their kids. Do we see ourselves through the eyes of our children and want the next generation to be a breed of our missing childhood, for better or worse?

Young Victoria review

Rated 4 and half a stars

In a radical departure from the frumpy, overweight, double-chinned Queen Victoria of popular mythology, the adorable Emily Blunt presents us with a modern heroine: a feisty independent princess who defies her mother, loves dancing and, ultimately falls in love with the right guy. This is a simple love story, with a little complication of parliaments, policy and intrigue thrown in.

The September Issue

If you love fashion, and think that over 700 pages of ads in a magazine that is just over 800 pages is nothing short of a fabulous thing – then you will adore The September Issue.

Review - Rockabye, Melbourne Theatre Company

In the world of fashion from the bling bling era there seems to be a new phase emerging in Botoxland and that is to kidnap a child from a third world nation and place it in an environment it is not familiar with under the guise of opportunism.

Or is it merely the present norm of celebrity persona to display such souls as trophies hanging off the forearms as fashion accessories? However noble this act may seem, the featherbrains of the likes of the Hilton femme fatale and The Material Girl, make this procedure not much different to our stolen generation.

This Avenue Q review is brought to you by the letters ‘L’, ‘O’ and ‘L’.

Rated 4 stars

I have to admit I had high hopes for Avenue Q. I hadn’t heard the songs, but I had read articles mentioning song titles like ‘It Sucks to Be Me’ and ‘Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist’ and something told me it was going to be right up my alley. (Or Avenue, as it were.)

Avenue Q review

Avenue Q is a show that I would recommend to others.

From the first song about how life 'sucks' to the end it was full of laughs. I cannot remember the last time I have laughed out loud.

It was cleverly scripted and choreographed. Although the actors were seen holding the muppets the muppets took on a life of their own.

A show I would definitely see again given the chance.
