First reviews are in! "The love, hate, jealousy are beautifully presented by a strong cast under Michelle Trainer’s direction." Warning - spoiler alert in this review though!
‘Medea’ is the ancient Greek tragedy, written by Euripides in 431 BC, and is based around the myth of Jason and Medea. It was awarded the third place prize at the Dionysia Festival two millennia ago. This contemporary version of the famous play is being presented by Class Act Theatre in the Subiaco ...
Medea previews tonight! $26 tickets tonight only, Subiaco Theatre Centre Studio at 7.30pm - see you there!
Proximity is a must see and is nearly sold out!
Perth is a city full of wonderful and exciting things, but it is rarely a city that can claim a ‘first’. Until now! Now we have the best ‘first’ ever: Australia’s first micro-festival of one-on-one art, aka Proximity. Put that in your cool pipe and smoke it, you new wave everything east coasters!
Oooh the festival is fast approaching, and Elektra is definitely one of Hook in Eye's top pics!
Director Matt Lutton and other creatives working on Elektra give a behind-the-scenes look at the production
Looking forward to Fringe World - last year's was awesome and this will be even bigger! See you there...
Browse the FRINGE WORLD 2012 program. FRINGE WORLD runs from Australia Day 26 January - 19 February 2012.
So much great theatre on in Perth at the moment! There's 'Heartworm' (starring 'In the Garden's' Shirley Van Sanden) and 'Slut' at The Blue Room Theatre, and They Ran Til They Stopped at Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts. I can thoroughly recommend all three!

Hook in Eye has been reading a few 20th century classics at the moment, it looks like Belvoir Street Theatre and STC have been too! Great article in The Age about what classics Sydney audiences can look forward to next year.
As Sydney's theatre companies reveal their new seasons for next year, why is the dust is being blown off so many daggy 20th-century classics?

Who is the woman in the picture you ask? Why, that's none other than the amazing Anna Houston! Name sound familiar? Anna wrote 'In the Garden' and also played Cavale in our first production - Shepard's 'Cowboy Mouth'. Perth Theatre Company's Tender Na**lm opened last night State Theatre Centre of Western Australia. Go see it! Do it!
From the pen of Philip Ridley (The Pitchfork Disney, Mercury Fur) comes the Australian Premiere season of this astonishing exploration of love, s*xuality and desire. This unmissable, impolite and deeply felt work shows us the boundaries of a relationship between a man and a woman, and then pushes us...

Actors Now says: "George Gayler and Shirley Van Sanden are excellent in this thought provoking play which everyone was still talking about well after it was over, while we all suitably disliked Andy's charcter he played it so well. It also contained enough humour to keep me and my guest happy. Make the trek to Freo, it is worth it."
Artshub review says: "a sustained performance with impressive range by Morris in the lead role..." and "separately and together, the cast presented haunting and intriguing characters."
DECKCHAIR THEATRE: Violet is trapped in a destructive relationship with her former high school teacher but will the secrets buried in the garden prevent her escape?
In The Garden | Jon Strachan
This is a multilayered story examining identity, relationships, death and s*x. Like a jigsaw, the first half presents the audience with pieces that do not start to give away the whole picture, its only in the second half these pieces come together. Its success relies on maintaining a fine balance
Blog post about In the Garden's awesome 90s fashion!
Review in The West Australian today: "Michelle Sowden's direction is sure-footed and focused, suiting the episodic structure of the play, moving it forward with directness, balancing the poetic monologues with the short more naturalistic domestic scenes."
In the Garden is a play about remembering.
"a well-acted, strongly directed and designed show" - Amy Welsh, Australian Stage Online

Tonight is the opening of Renegade Productions' Laryngectomy - directed, designed and written by the multi-talented Joe Lui (also Hook in Eye's lighting designer for 'In the Garden').
