  • The Three Graces (Theatre Works, Melbourne Australia) (review)
    Stream podcast episodes on demand from www.bitesz.com (mobile friendly). The Three Graces (The Production Company, Melbourne, Australia) (review)'Carved straight from the epic traditions of Greek theatre, The Three Graces is drama on a grand scale. With striking visual clarity and amplified physical performances produced by Melbourne theatre company, The Anchor, The Three Graces will plunge audiences straight into the gearshift of the twenty-first century. The Three Graces have a lot to say. They are a legacy from a different time; an artistic symbol of what humans have chosen to preserve, what humans have valued in the past and what humans think should endure into the future. In this play, they manifest as a public fountain and meeting place. When the water is turned off, they become aware that the world is crumbling around them, and are forced to decide whether it’s worth sticking around for a future that humans are failing to preserve.' For more information visit  http://www.theatreworks.org.au/program/the-three-graces/ Theatre First RSS feed:   https://feeds.megaphone.fm/ivetheatrereviews  Subscribe, rate and review Theatre First at all good podcatcher apps, including Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts (formerly iTunes), Stitcher, Pocket Casts, CastBox.FM, Podbean, ACast etc.If you're enjoying Theatre First podcast, please share and tell your friends.

    Stream podcast episodes on demand from www.bitesz.com (mobile friendly). Lazarus (The Production Company, Melbourne, Australia) (review)Lazarus was the final project of David Bowie. First staged in New York in late 2015, Lazarus has enjoyed sell-out seasons in New York and London. This will be the Australian premiere of the ground-breaking musical.Featuring 18 David Bowie songs including Changes, Heroes, and Absolute Beginners, Lazarus is inspired by the novel The Man Who Fell to Earth by Walter Tevis – and the movie which also starred David Bowie. The story focuses on Thomas Newton, an alien, as he remains on earth, unable to die. We follow him during the course of a few days where the arrival of another lost soul might finally set him free.For more information visit http://lazarusthemusical.com.auTheatre First RSS feed:   https://feeds.megaphone.fm/ivetheatrereviews  Subscribe, rate and review Theatre First at all good podcatcher apps, including Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts (formerly iTunes), Stitcher, Pocket Casts, CastBox.FM, Podbean, ACast, etc.If you're enjoying Theatre First podcast, please share and tell your friends.

  • Cloudstreet (Malthouse Theatre, Melbourne, Australia) (review)
    Stream podcast episodes on demand from www.bitesz.com (mobile friendly). Cloudstreet (Malthouse Theatre, Melbourne, Australia) (review)The house at number one Cloud Street is a great continent where two damaged clans collide. The two families—the Lambs and the Pickles—are as contrasting as the Australia they inhabit. Teetotallers and tipplers, workhorses or wastrels, fate makers versus chance chasers. But really, they’re two sides of the same coin; one that was tossed during World War II and remained in motion for decades. The power of this staggering Australian saga is more haunting than the ghosts who speak out from the walls. It’s more elusive than the serial killer who prowls their neighbourhood. It’s transcendent, like the Lambs and the Pickles themselves, whose lives and loves live on today.This is a once-in-a-generation chance to see Tim Winton’s award-winning story on stage, and in 2019 Malthouse Theatre ups the ante. Directed by Matthew Lutton, Cloudstreet will be a monumental new production unprecedented in scale and ambition. The ensemble cast swims in the depth and breadth of Australian theatrical talent, featuring Helpmann Award-winner Guy Simon (Jasper Jones), Natasha Herbert (Away), Bert LaBonté (The Book of Mormon), Greg Stone (The Government Inspector) and Alison Whyte (Love and Information).For more information visit https://malthousetheatre.com.au/whats-on/cloudstreet Theatre First RSS feed:   https://feeds.megaphone.fm/ivetheatrereviews  Subscribe, rate and review Theatre First at all good podcatcher apps, including Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts (formerly iTunes), Stitcher, Pocket Casts, CastBox.FM, Podbean, ACast etc.If you're enjoying Theatre First podcast, please share and tell your friends.

  • Four Dogs and a Bone (Q44 Theatre, Melbourne, Australia) (a review)
    Stream podcast episodes on demand from www.bitesz.com (mobile friendly). Four Dogs and a Bone (Q44 Theatre, Melbourne, Australia) (review)Brenda wants to be a star, she even chants for it! Collette, the other actress in the film, is in her way, so Brenda must convince Bradley, the producer, to cut Collette's part. Bradley, knowing full well that the film is seriously over budget, intimates that he will do it, if she can convince her stepbrother, a giant movie star, to make a cameo in the film. Collette has her own agenda: She knows she's not as young as she once was. She tries to convince Victor, the writer, to alter the film so she can be the heroine. Victor, a naïve young writer from Off-Off Broadway, doesn't know how to handle any of this, and his mother just died.For more information visit  http://www.q44.com.au/four-dogs-and-a-bone Theatre First RSS feed:   https://feeds.megaphone.fm/ivetheatrereviews  Subscribe, rate and review Theatre First at all good podcatcher apps, including Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts (formerly iTunes), Stitcher, Pocket Casts, CastBox.FM, Podbean, ACast, etc.If you're enjoying Theatre First podcast, please share and tell your friends.
