Review: Hahaha–Hamlet, Fringe 2025

August 12, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This fresh, musical rendition of Hamlet from Hong Kong performers is a must-see. It mixes Shakespeare with modern stories and sharp political commentary, all with a lively energy and a sense of humour that’s infectious.

Review: Catching a Cheese Pervert – A Frances Francis Mystery, Fringe 2025

August 11, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Inspired by a true story, this Fringe play follows a woman who must prove her worth in her family’s dairy empire by tracking down a “cheese pervert.”

Review: I’m Not Saying We Should, But What If We Did?, Fringe 2025

August 11, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This show is a compelling satire on populist politics, female rage, and male privilege. The premise of banning men is confronting and thought-provoking, and the play’s unique visuals will stay with you long after it ends.

Review: No More Bull, Fringe 2025

August 11, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

A rousing and thought-provoking musical that re-examines the Minotaur myth through the eyes of Princess Ariadne.

Review: The Anti “Yogi”, Fringe 2025

August 9, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

The Anti-Yogi is a powerful and intelligent show that combines a mesmerising physical performance with a deep dive into the cultural exploitation of yoga.

Review: Crocodile Tears, Fringe 2025

August 9, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

“Crocodile Tears” is a must-see dark comedy at the Fringe, featuring a fantastic ensemble cast and a clever script. The performers expertly reveal the truth behind their reality TV personas as the story twists from sharp satire into a high-stakes thriller that questions the nature of authenticity and entertainment.

Review: Chunky Jewellery, Fringe 2025

August 7, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Chunky Jewellery is a deeply personal and technically brilliant piece of dance-theatre that successfully portrays the emotional burdens carried by women. Its central metaphor is powerful, though its raw, personal narrative is ultimately more impactful than its more surreal, high-art elements.

Review: Christian Dart – Gumshoe!, Fringe 2025

August 6, 2025 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Christian Dart’s Gumshoe! is a delightful subversion of the murder mystery genre. An initially reluctant reviewer is won over by the high-energy, interactive, and charismatic performance, which trades traditional noir pacing for frenetic, clown-esque fun. A fantastic Fringe experience that will drag you along for the ride.
