I Can’t Tell You But I Will by Magda Szubanski review – an insightful, elegant, anti-celebrity memoir - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a certain tension in the celebrity memoir between what is confessed and what is withheld. We want to know the things the celebrity isn’t telling us, and comb through what they do say looking for secrets, the flaws or inconsistencies, the myopic and self-serving. Most celebrities try to thread their stories through this needle, giving us the sense of candidness without revealing too much of anything. After all, there are reputations to uphold. Magda Szubanski doesn’t write those memoirs.
The Homecoming review – misogyny, social upheaval and male anxiety … Pinter has never felt so urgent - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
UK playwright Harold Pinter was the master of a menace that sits so close to the surface, it forms lumps in the carpet. Revolving around intimate domestic dynamics warped by unseen but dreadfully felt forces of animosity and repression, his plays have never lost their power to unsettle and suggest. The Homecoming premiered in 1965 during a time of massive social upheaval, when sexual mores and gender expectations were in flux, and it responded to an anxiety about men and women that should feel l
Arj Barker: ‘I’m socially not wired the same as other people’ - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Arj Barker doesn’t answer questions the way other people do. When we meet outside a cafe in the inner-city suburb of Richmond and I ask if he lives locally, he shuffles slightly, stops walking and looks directly at me as if he’s about to be searingly honest, then fudges an answer and mumbles. “My dogs live here, so I’m here a lot … is how I like to say it.” When the subject of his age comes up – even his Wikipedia page contradicts itself on this point, claiming he’s both 51 and 54 – he says: “So
The Nightline review – listening to messages from anonymous callers is an odd, affecting experience - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last time it came to Melbourne, in a tiny utilitarian space tucked into a dead-end laneway in the CBD, it ran for one night, shut down early after its opening by one of the many lockdowns the city endured during Covid. Bleak times suit this odd, affecting piece, which gains much of its hushed power from the sense of the huddle, the gathering together – but not too close – of a community. The Nightline is a deceptively simple audiovisual art installation cum verbatim theatre piece, less than 40 m
Break of Day review – Kat Stewart is superb in this deeply moving portrait of Australia’s working class - AOL (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Too few Australian plays deal with issues of poverty, class and structural inequality, so this new work by playwright Steve Rodgers should be welcomed regardless of its quality. That it is also considered, subtle and deeply moving should be cause for celebration. The theatre can be overwhelmed by the solipsism of the middle class, and needs its perspective constantly widened. Pam (Kat Stewart) works at an unnamed international packing warehouse in the fictional town of Burra Creek. Her daughter
