Australia Day in Malvern
On Saturday, Australia Day 26 January 2013, I attended a thanksgiving mass at St George’s Malvern, my alma mater as curate. It was a lovely service from A Prayer Book for Australia using prayers crafted by indigenous women. Appropriately it

Dad’s Army @ Cold Comfort Farm
Mea culpa. My bad. It was entirely my error which may have led you, as it did me, to think that Warhorse was the National Theatre of Great Britain’s actual production on tour in Australia. In July I just missed

National Velvet, for boys
(Total Spoiler Alert) The principal defect in the English National Theatre’s production of Warhorse in the State Theatre at the Arts Centre is the lack of surtitles. Despite a background montage suggesting that the scene was set in rural Devon,

No security at home
Make the most of the intelligent and cunning look on Carrie’s face in the photo above, because you will not see it again. A rabbit caught in the car headlights has more composure than she exhibits as an alleged top

A Funny Thing……
That it opened was first produced in 1962 and that it was composed by Sondheim inspired me to see just how ‘creaky’ this recent production by John Frost would be. Marvellously held together by the inimitable Geoffrey Rush, this musical

Skyfall
I found this to be a very enjoyable film. It certainly was popular as I couldn’t get into Gold Class and ended up on the side of the theatre watching on a rather disconcerting angle. It began well and I
Dark Knight Rises
The first thing I noticed about this poster, after I had seen the film, was that Anne Hathaway (‘Catwoman’ or perhaps ‘Catgirl’, or in an Australian version ‘Cat-person’) is not mentioned in the credits [note to Anne’s PR rep: “You’re
