[THEATRE: Review] Food
I think it’s fair to say that we live in a food-obsessed society: conversations about weight or eating pervade almost any social situation, our television seems to be a constant stream of cooking and weight-loss shows, while we ourselves seesaw between planning the next meal and planning how to shed it.

Les Liaisons Dangereuses Until June 9 / Sydney Theatre Wharf 1 **** This is the first play I’ve seen at Wharf 1 for a while, and boy have I missed it. It seems that one too many of STC’s program headliners have gone straight to the Sydney Theatre, without much thought as to how they [...]

[THEATRE: Review] The Story Of Mary Maclane By Herself
The Story Of Mary MacLane By Herself Until May 12 / SBW Stables *** 1/2 How many self-professed female geniuses can you name? How many girls do you know who consider the Devil to be their hero? It’s 1902 and at 19 years old, Mary MacLane is doing everything she can think of to lure [...]
