Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap | QPAC
For a script written in the 1950s, I was pleasantly surprised by the strong female leading the show. Played by clearly talented actress, Anna O’Byrne, Mollie Ralston was a witty and electrifying character. O’Byrne’s energy filled the stage and was captivating to the very end. The entire cast was incredibly well-suited. I particularly enjoyed Laurence Boxhall’s performance of Christopher Wren, a delightfully peculiar character that was often times the comic relief.
To Hunt a Killer | Dark Stories
To Hunt a Killer had a distinct connection to Brisbane|Meanjin. The team constructed the narrative around a specific site that is well known to many Brisbanians, which absolutely made this piece special. Equally, this would be a cool experience for those visiting the city and would give an opportunity to explore a popular area in Brisbane in an experience you just would not get during the day.
Wanted for Murder | InsideOutside Theatre Company
In the second act of the show, the audience is handed a clue pack and have an opportunity to question each suspect about their whereabouts the night of the gruesome murder and their relationship to the suspect. It’s not every performance that you get thrown headfirst into the characters’ world and get an insight into their motivations and I enjoyed it immensely. Truth be told, I got quite a thrill putting my detective hat on. Maybe a little bit too much.
