Cork Pops into the Spanish Film Festival
The Spanish Film Festival is back this June and July and celebrating it’s 25th year! Presented by Palace, the film festival is accessible online, or in person, in major cities Adelaide, Brisbane, Byron Bay, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. There are plentiful films to choose from with helpful category groupings such as ‘New Spanish Cinema’, ‘Spotlight on Argentina’, ‘Focus on Female Filmmakers’ and more. I had the pleasure of viewing ‘Cork’ (‘Suro’), a Drama/Thriller feature film debut from Director Mikel Gurrea, that is creating a lot of excitement in its New Spanish Cinema category. It has already won a slew…

We spend Act 1 with Sleep-Sick our unlikable protagonist, exploring the poison of opium and his travels to the Gold Fields, however the story comes into its own…
Never Before Has Divorce Been So Fun – Grand Horizons
Can you imagine a comedy play about divorce? And could you imagine that a theatre company could pull such a feat off? Happily, the answer is yes. Located at the lovely rooftop Pip Theatre in Milton, the comedy Grand Horizons is leaving guests in stitches. The Tony-nominated play written by Bess Wohl has been hugely successful, being awarded the best play on Broadway three years ago. The journey begins at the dinner table when Nancy French (Deirdre Grace) decides to end her fifty-year-long marriage to Bill (Steven Tandy). Bill appears apathetic to her divorce proposal, but their adult children, Ben (Brad McMurray)…
And Then There Were None – Review
Adapting a novel with a storied history, such as Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None,” is no small feat. The novel has sold over 100 million copies and has been adapted countless times for visual media. Pleasingly, the Sunnybank Theatre Group’s current production of this classic story is a very successful interpretation. Director Chris O’Leary has adeptly led his team of actors and crew to bring what is a faithful and engaging rendition of one of Agatha Christie’s most famous works to the stage. Opening night provided a few nerves for the cast and crew who had unfortunately been…

Thought Provoking Journey into the Heart of Darkness
The Goodwill Club, nestled in the historic Rechabite Hall, once a symbol of an international temperance movement, served as the backdrop for an intriguing performance during the Perth Comedy Festival. Could stand-up comedian Anthony Locascio deliver on a show titled Heart of Darkness? On arrival, one came with a sense of wonder, anticipation and curiosity. Anthony, the comedian, welcomed the audience with open arms, exuding an inviting and vibrant energy that made us feel instantly at ease. With his likable persona, he delved into some challenging and controversial topics, navigating them with finesse and skill. Addressing sensitive subjects is no…
