Augustine United Church
Cock
★★★★☆ Potent
Kitty Milk Theatre’s debut, Cock, at the Studio of Augustine United Church for four performances only, is an auspicious start which only narrowly misses perfection.
Who’s The Fairest of Them All?
★★★☆☆ Darkly pointed
Who’s The Fairest of Them All?, written & directed by Holly Wagner at Erstwhile Media’s One Dramatic Night, retells Snow White, while questioning who the true villain of the story is.
Rock of Ages
★★★★★ Phenomenal
Bare Productions continue their streak of high-calibre musicals with a Rock of Ages that roars onto the Sanctuary stage at Paradises at Augustines with an all-star company.
Waiting for Wonka
★★★☆☆ Overstretched
Half Trick’s Waiting for Wonka at Augustine Church has plenty of ideas, excellent staging and some genuinely terrific performances, but never quite convinces in the way it threatens to.
Little Shop of Horrors
★★★★☆ Exuberant performances
Little Shop of Horrors, by Room 29 at Augustine United Church, is a beautifully sung production that is high on storytelling, even if some of the visual elements are less convincing.
Living With the Dead
★★★☆☆ Thoughtful
Not So Nice! Theatre Company’s latest offering, Living With the Dead by Cosette Bolt at the Augustine United Church, confronts the reality of death in its many forms, reflecting on its sameness.
Little Red Robin Hood
★★★☆☆ Clever
Little Red Robin Hood from Happy Sad Productions is a clever mash-up of Little Red Riding Hood, Robin Hood, and Goldilocks and the Three Bears, with elements of other pantos thrown in for good measure.
End of the Line
★★★☆☆ Light-hearted
Theatre Paradok make a whimsical exploration of impending nuclear disaster in End of the Line, at the Augustine United Church on George IV Bridge until Monday 18 November.
No Spray No Lay
Work in Progress
What a piece of fun is to be had with No Spray No Lay, a new musical staged as a work-in-progress in the decidedly fringe-flavoured lower hall of the Augustine United Church for four performances only.
The Roses of Eyam
★★★★☆ Unexpected insights
Disconcertingly relevant, the EUTC’s production of Don Taylor’s The Roses Of Eyam at the Augustine United Church until Sunday provides unexpected insights into our own plague years.
