Editor's Choice The Play that Goes Wrong

GMG Productions: The Play that Goes Wrong

Sydney Opera House Sydney, NSW, Australia
If you just want a good laugh, look no further than The Play That Goes Wrong, in which the inept Cornley Drama Society attempts to stage a 1920s murder mystery. It’s not as clever as Michael Frayn’s inspired Noises Off, but it’s fun. Co-written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry…

Dangerous Liaisons

New Theatre: Dangerous Liaisons

New Theatre 542 King St, Newtown, NSW
“These events have shown us how much misery can be caused from a single dangerous intimacy.” For decades, the sharp-tongued Marquise de Merteuil and rakish Vicomte de Valmont have delighted in emotional manipulation and psychological warfare, with seemingly no regard for those who get swept up in their games. However,…

A fortune-teller tells Lord Arthur Savile that he sees murder ahead! The only logical course of action for Arthur is to try get this dreadfully embarrassing act out of the way before his wedding in three weeks' time. But staging the perfect murder proves not nearly as easy as he…
