Fantasy, Romance, And Political Drama: Moonflower Plays’ Other Gods Has It All

REVIEW BY GRACE DWYER EDITED BY RACHEL THORNBY I have a tumultuous relationship with the fantasy genre. As of late, I find certain fantasy and romance stories to be stuffed with clichéd narratives and barely indistinguishable aesthetics. But I return to the genre time and time again because there is nothing like being fully immersed in a rich, unique world and at their best, fantasies … Continue reading Fantasy, Romance, And Political Drama: Moonflower Plays’ Other Gods Has It All

Audience Please Make the Right Decision Challenge Failed: 5 Locktin

REVIEW BY BRONTE LEMAIRE EDITED BY EMMA PARFITT It’s always a pleasure rocking up to the Motley Bauhaus, especially during a night buzzing with theatre festivities.

Barkly Theatre’s SHIT Is Anything But

REVIEW BY BRONTE LEMAIRE EDITED BY EMMA PARFITT When I enter the theatre they’re already there. One’s facing away on a stool, slow and lethargic. Another sits at the back on a concrete block, biting her nails. The third can’t be still, ramming into the wall again and again as if this time it will finally budge. If you’ve been on public transport you’ve met … Continue reading Barkly Theatre’s SHIT Is Anything But
