REVIEW: Navy Blue

Reading Time: 2 minutesOona Doherty’s Navy Blue explores the insignificance of dance, life and the whole world. From the offset, Navy Blue might seem like a bit of a bleak experience if the point is to comprehend the pointlessness of sitting in a theatre watching a dance show that expresses itself as pointless and irrelevant.

REVIEW: By the Light of the Moon

Reading Time: 2 minutesIt’s 1928. Lila is all alone in a hospital for the criminally insane. Without any support, she is forced to face her secrets and the darkness of her past that led to her imprisonment “Packed with playful poetry and vivid trauma,” says the description, though this one-woman show from Shea Donovan perhaps struggles with the latter claim.

REVIEW: King Hamlin

Reading Time: 3 minutesKing Hamlin tells the story of a teenage boy with aspirations of doing well in school and going to university to become a software engineer, before life gets in the way and he gets dragged into the world of drug dealing and gangs. There is definitely a good play somewhere within that premise, unfortunately King Hamlin is not that play.
