From comedian Anne Edmonds, Bad Company doesn’t quite know who it is for, and doesn’t understand the people it is making fun of.
Across this year’s festival, a variety of shows demonstrated some Australian audiences are ready for uncomfortable comedy and complex personae.
A new play from Melbourne Theatre Company tells the story of the collapse of the bridge during construction in 1970 – Australia’s worst industrial disaster.
Cory Taylor’s 2016 book Dying: A Memoir spoke of her cancer diagnosis and impending death. Now it’s on stage with the Melbourne Theatre Company.
Tom Wright’s new play for Malthouse poses a fundamental question: who can truly own land?
While the writing and main star Noni Hazlehurst shine, the play is let down by poor design choices.
This show is infused with signature Pony Cam high-energy physicality. An extended dance sequence set to Russian dance music showcases their extraordinary prowess.
Black, Fat and F**gy is an entirely unique, memorable and vital performance work you should move to the top of your list of must-see Midsumma events.
In interviews, Chappell Roan speaks on the influences of drag on her visual and musical aesthetic. But can a cis woman be a drag queen?

Since her rise to stardom, Lizzo has faced constant negative criticism about her body. She has responded by saying ‘I’m a body icon, and I’m embracing that more and more every day’.
