A new year – a
fresh new slate of theatre, books, films, events, ideas. A brand new batch of
reviews and thoughts, and some rather interesting goings on.
In Sydney’s theatres this year, there are many shows to look forwards to – such as Donna Abela’s Jump for Jordan, Jane Bodie’s Music, and a one-man production of Roald
Dahl’s The Witches at Griffin; Hugo Weaving’s Macbeth, Jez Butterworth’s Mojo,
adaptations of Cyrano de Bergerac and
Children of the Sun, and Sarah Giles’
production of Perplex at Sydney Theatre Company; Once In Royal David’s City, The Glass Menagerie, and The
Brothers Wreck at Belvoir; and Damien
Ryan’s Henry V, alongside a
late-period Romance in The Winter’s Tale
from Bell
Shakespeare. There’s Sport for
Jove’s Twelfth Night and All’s Well That Ends Well at the Seymour
Centre (to celebrate Shakey’s 450th birthday); Mark Kilmurry’s Richard III at the Ensemble theatre; the
return of The Lion King musical; Black Diggers and The Shadow King at Sydney Festival, as well as a few aces I've got planned.
