I am the classic example of someone who did lots of theatre as a teenager before thankfully realising as an adult that I wasn't very good at it. Now I am a big supporter of the arts and am eminently judgey, so now I write reviews of the things I have seen for all to see.
REVIEW: JALI by Oliver Twist
Reading Time: 3 minutesJali is a one man show, written, performed, and directed by Oliver Twist. A refugee from Rwanda who ends up resettling in Australia and gaining Australian citizenship. The show was first performed in Australia and was nominated for a number of awards including “Best Newcomer” and “Best Independent Production” at the Sydney Theatre Awards and also received rave reviews with 5 stars from OUT in Perth and 4 stars from the Sydney Morning herald. I am not one to be contrarian for the sake of it, but I did not leave this show with such a positive opinion.
REVIEW: Paper Cut

REVIEW: GRINDR: The Opera
Reading Time: 3 minutesThe absurdity of the title of this show, mixing the high brow world of opera with the low brow world of hook up apps, made me really interested to see this show. As a previous winner of ‘Best New Musical’ at the Off West End Awards I had high hopes, but also no idea what sort of show I would actually be seeing.

REVIEW: Betty Blue Eyes
Reading Time: 3 minutesBetty Blue Eyes is a musical set in 1947 about a pig with beautiful blue eyes. An intriguing proposition and one that had me wondering what on earth this show would actually be like.
