Dan March

Stuffy MySpace dramedy

(2 stars)21 Aug 2008

Social networking may rear its fashionable head in this one-man comic play from Dan March, but it’s the more timeless topic of fatherhood that’s really up for appraisal. It is, ostensibly, a true story. March, a struggling actor, really did have a…

Dancing on your Grave

Songs in the key of death

(3 stars)21 Aug 2008

Causing a splash on the Fringe

(4 stars)21 Aug 2008

(3 stars)21 Aug 2008

This one-woman show tells the story of a thirtysomething songstress who's dying to be the next Australian pop star. While her acting is patchy, Melissa Western's impersonations of Ella Fitzgerald and Marlene Dietrich are spot on, while her natural charm…

Philip Stokes' play is set in a mental health ward where two patients believing they are Elvis Presley, are cared for by a disturbed nurse. The piece follows the nurse's fantasy about what she could have been and the world of celebrities. The cast not…

Eric's Tales of the Sea

Weird and wonderful - but what's it all about?

(3 stars)21 Aug 2008

No strings attached (well, not many) in this experimental piece of puppet theatre from avant-garde Polish company K3. Three puppeteers, dressed from neck to ankle in black, animate a series of string-free two-foot tall magnolia-coloured cloth mannequins…
