Stepping into ' Guilty'  feels like looking into a mirror that reflects both the gritty reality and the profound struggles faced by women in today's society. This bold cabaret, presented by Inscape Assembly at Anywhere Festival, takes the audience on an intensely emotional, yet often hilarious journey, weaving together scenes, songs, interviews, and commentary. With the inclusion of impactful statistics and first-hand quotes, the show effectively amplifies the voices of women and sheds light on our shared experiences.   The story includes four distinct female characters, plus two male characters who play various roles. Abigail Ellerton takes on the role of Jane, our primary narrator, who introduces us to: - Flirty Florence (Maegan Weir): A fashion influencer who loves dressing up, posting sexy outfits, and conducting nude art workshops. She is described as the "token straight character". - Sexy Sadie (Gillian Thompson): Florence’s fun-loving and fiercely loyal flatmate, who enjoys casual relations with both men and women. - Moaning Myrtle (Isabella Kirkwood): A uni student from a conservative religious background, working at the bookstore and secretly passionate about smutty fiction. - Plain Jane (Abigail Ellerton): Last but not least, our lovely lesbian Jane. When she's not busy studying or working at the bookstore, you can find her tearing up the dance floor and sipping on a drink or two. - Noah (Joshua Price) and Ethan (JJ Jones), are a whirlwind of energy, portraying Sadie’s best bros as they engage in debates about feminist topics and share their wild dating stories and sexual escapades. What stands out immediately is the authenticity of the dialogue. I learned that 250 individuals from QUT were surveyed, and all the quotes featured in the production are real and anonymous. This direct connection to real-life experiences adds a visceral depth to the show, engaging the audience as active participants in a broader discussion. Held at Bloodhound - a bar in Fortitude Valley - this choice of venue adds legitimacy to the story, placing these Aussie girls in a relatable environment. The cast uses the entire space, transforming the upper level of Bloodhound Bar into a dynamic stage with a runway through the audience that creates an intimate experience. Plus, by enjoying their signature cocktails "The Smut Queen" and "The J Name," audience members can fully immerse themselves in the 'wild night'. The show kicks off with an energetic performance of "Wild Nights," a playful take on Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." The cast all give excellent performances, with standout comedic work by Kirkwood, Weir, and Jones, injecting some humorous relief into the show. Gillian Thompson shines as Sadie, impressing with her vocal battle against the boys in a comedic number titled "Anything You Can Do I Can Do Bleeding". The costumes, presumably chosen by the cast themselves, reflect their characters’ unique styles beautifully. A standout moment unfolds as Isabella Kirkwood leads "Smut Queen," a spoof of Rihanna's "S&M," unveiling Myrtle's hidden passion for spicy literature. Maegan Weir gives a touching performance of "Your Best Kept Secret," to the tune of Taylor Swift's "Love Story." This heartfelt interpretation delves into Florence's feelings of being used or concealed by her boyfriends, when all she desires is a fairytale romance. Weir's stunning vocals, brimming with emotion, resonated with me on a deeper level than I care to admit. The emotional shifts throughout ' Guilty'  are almost dizzying—one moment, I was laughing like a maniac; the next, I was on the verge of a meltdown from anger. Throughout the performance, cast members present quotes and statistics to segue into the next scene, touching on topics like virginity, catcalling, harassment, masturbation, and assault - e.g. “Despite the statistics, I never thought it would happen to me.” These interspersed moments of reality serve to anchor the cabaret in genuine human experiences and prompt deep contemplation from the audience. The second act marks a significant tonal shift as the show delves into heavier material. Beginning with "Cell Block Tango" - or rather "She Had It Coming" - where the four women divulge their traumatic and harrowing experiences that they have kept hidden. These revelations, ranging from leaked nudes and coerced sexual encounters to near-assaults and drugged drinks, are unfiltered and gut-wrenching, bringing a palpable tension to the room. Abigail Ellerton as Jane delivers a heart-wrenching monologue that culminates in the original song “Guilty,” composed by Alex Wilson and Haley Meekan, with lyrics by Mak Harris. This solo is a powerful expression of the shame, confusion, and anger that many survivors feel, and it’s one of the most moving moments in the show. The second act also features several other intense scenes, including a cruel argument between Florence and Sadie, a failed kiss attempt between Myrtle and Jane, and a painful confrontation between Ethan and Sadie. These moments are interspersed with lighter, more humorous scenes, like the boys versus girls swiping through Tinder, providing a well-balanced narrative that never feels overwhelming despite the heavy subject matter. The performances by JJ Jones and Joshua Price add a brilliant layer of both comedy and discomfort to ' Guilty' . Their portrayal of multiple male characters offers a perspective that flip-flops between being hilarious and infuriating. JJ Jones shines with his impeccable improv and sharp comedic timing. Whether he's playing the role of a gym bro, debating the best pick-up lines, or conducting a probing interview, Jones has a knack for connecting with the audience. His ability to switch gears between being a charming joker to a source of discomfort is truly impressive. Joshua Price complements Jones perfectly. His portrayal of Noah, the mate who 'jokingly' suggests a threesome with Sadie, treads a fine line between jest and sincerity. Price's performance ensures that Noah remains a character who, despite his flaws, is trying to navigate the complexities of modern masculinity. One of the show's most powerful aspects is when, towards the end, the women step out of their roles to speak directly to the audience. At this moment, the actors, visibly emotionally drained, remind us that although they are playing fictional characters, they represent very real women whose stories deserve to be heard. It’s a powerful call to action, urging the audience to reflect on the issues presented and to engage in meaningful conversations about feminism and the treatment of women in society.   The production team, led by writer and director Madeleine Keeble, writers Scarlett Hughes, Jaide Camilleri, and their skilled crew, have crafted an important, timely piece of theatre that holds up a mirror to society and forces us to confront uncomfortable truths. I feel privileged to have experienced it as part of the audience. As I left the venue, the reality of the show’s message hit me hard. Just today, as I sat at a bus stop at 11am, I was subjected to catcalling by a man driving by, leaving me feeling enraged all over again. This show is not just a performance; it’s a reflection of the world we live in — a world where women are still fighting to be heard, to be respected, and to live without feeling guilty for their mere existence.

‘Legally Blonde the Musical’ has long been a beloved staple of modern musical theatre, and the latest production by the Academy of Excellence in Musical Theatre at Griffith University only solidifies its charm. Directed by Alistair Smith, with musical direction by Heidi Loveland and choreography by Dan Venz, this production features an ensemble of talented third-year musical theatre students, alongside the fresh-faced first and second-year students. The performance, held at the state-of-the-art QLD Conservatorium Theatre, showcases not only the skills of these burgeoning performers but also the dedicated creative team. The story follows Elle Woods, portrayed beautifully by Alyssa Mastromanno, as she evolves from a seemingly superficial sorority girl to a determined Harvard Law student. Mastromanno, who shares the role with Ally Long and Ashley McLaren, brings a quirky and unique energy to the role, delivering famous lines from the film with a new spark. Her performance is both impressive and empowering, embodying Elle’s resilience and rejection of societal norms. Mastromanno’s vocal performance, particularly her solos "So Much Better" and "Legally Blonde" showcase her impressive range and stage presence. James Macaulay as Emmett (sharing the role with Nick Smith), delivers impressive technical control of his voice that truly stands out in the song "Chip on My Shoulder." His chemistry with Mastromanno is like a perfectly made cocktail - sweet, comforting, and leaves you wanting more! Oliver Palamara, who plays Warner, convincingly embodies the self-absorbed nature of his character, displaying his vocal talent in the song “Serious” while fully embracing the show's campy spirit.   Juliette Coates excels as Paulette, delivering a mix of heart and hilarity in their rendition of "Ireland." They are basically the long-lost twin of Sutton Foster, rocking the most fabulous costumes, accent, dorkiness, and a killer powerhouse voice. Finlay Underwood as Professor Callahan brings a commanding presence with his deep, stunning voice, especially in "Blood in the Water." Sophie Moman’s Vivien is fierce and determined, though her performance could have benefitted from a slightly louder mic level to unleash the full force of her vocal prowess in the epic “Legally Blonde Reprise”. The Greek chorus girls, led by the fabulous trio of Kaylen de Gersigny, Charlotte Sligar, and Faith Oosthuizen, bring boundless energy and enthusiasm with their quirky choreography. Madelene Kirkwood as Brooke impresses with her stamina and precision in "Whipped Into Shape," maintaining her incredible vocals while performing a complex jump rope routine. Jack Ryan and Jay Monck also deserve special mention for their versatile performances in multiple roles, with Monck's Kyle (the UPS guy) standing out as a comedic highlight of Act Two. Their physicality and comedic timing had everyone cackling, especially during the unexpected riverdance routine. This production is not only a showcase of talent but also an educational milestone for the students involved. The students' commitment to mastering the text, music, and choreography is evident in their slick performances. Standout numbers by the ensemble include "What You Want," featuring intricate cheerleader choreography; plus a hilarious performance by a particular member of the admissions board in a sweatervest (whose name I do not know but he left an impression). The timeless classic "Bend and Snap" is as fun and iconic as ever, while "There! Right There!" (aka "Gay or European?") serves up some creative footwork and comedic brilliance. The technical aspects of the show are equally impressive. Penny Challen’s set design and Desley MacPherson’s costume coordination are top-notch, with the use of tech to project captions and hashtags to the top of the set, adding a modern twist. Keith Clark's lighting design and Steve Thornely's sound design enhance the performance to a highly professional standard. However, a slight increase in microphone levels during singing moments for Elle and Emmett would have improved the performance I witnessed. The costumes deserve special mention for their vibrancy, with Elle's numerous quick changes into various pink ensembles being particularly noteworthy. The attention to detail in her wardrobe tells a story of its own, perfectly reflecting the character's journey while adding a visual treat to the performance.   The dogs, handled by Lisa Alsop and Rachel Hunt, steal the spotlight with their pawsitively adorable outfits and well-trained appearances (Bella as Rufus and Peggotty/McGinty as Bruiser). The orchestra, comprised of talented Bachelor of Music students, provides an excellent musical foundation that contributes to the overall high quality of the production. All in all, “Legally Blonde" is a triumph of student talent and professional direction. From the electrifying performances of the lead actors to the collective energy and obvious passion of the ensemble and creative team, this production is a joyous celebration of musical theatre and girlhood. The Academy’s commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of the performance, making it a must-see for fans of the genre. So step right up to experience this fabulously pink-hued journey, filled with humour, heart and high energy! Now playing until 10th August 2024 at QLD Conservatorium., South Brisbane.

In the heart of Brisbane's indie theatre scene, "Scenes With Girls" was a raw, riveting exploration of female friendships. Directed by Ava Rusch, this play is a poignant, often hilarious look at the complexities and intensities of girlhood. The talented team at Salad Days Collective brought this production to life over last weekend, marking it as their second successful theatrical endeavour. This story unfolds through 22 scenes depicting the lives of Tosh (Jasmine Prasser) and Lou (Hannah Ward); best friends navigating their early twenties. Together, they have dodged the pitfalls of romantic entanglements with men and worked hard to "deprogram themselves from societal expectations for male affection". From the second it kicks off with the girls busting moves to Charli XCX on Just Dance Wii, and throwing out Friends quotes – it hits home for other young adults who have lived with our besties, like myself. The set at PIP Theatre, designed by the versatile Jasmine Prasser, captures the aesthetic of a millennial flat-share. From the couch and swivel chair to the clutter everywhere, and even a bathroom, it's a spot-on portrayal of that cozy, lived-in vibe that is instantly recognisable. Even their outfits – comfy trackies, overalls, and slippers - grounds the play firmly in reality. We learn that Tosh appears to be going through a period of complete disinterest in men, while Lou is actively engaging in casual flings, keeping count of her conquests and proudly sharing details of each encounter with Tosh. The remarkable chemistry between the actresses showcases the deep, almost symbiotic bond of their characters' relationship. They constantly finish each other's sentences and thoughts, often helping the other find the right word in the middle of a conversation. It's like they have a secret language only they understand. Oftentimes, scenes will begin with hilariously out-of-context lines like "He tasted like omelette," illustrating the zany and unpredictable nature of their chats. Memorising all that dialogue would be quite the task, but these girls performed it exceptionally well, embodying two very authentic characters that made it seem as if they were truly gossiping right in front of you. The play's dialogue, penned by Miriam Battye, is sharp and vibrant, capturing the language of best friends with startling accuracy. Battye's writing also delves into deeper themes, questioning societal norms and the pressures women face to conform to certain narratives. For instance, both girls fake enthusiasm when their friend Fran (Georgina Sawyer) announces her engagement. But Lou then proceeds to go on a wild rant, spilling all her unfiltered thoughts about Fran's impending nuptials to Tosh in a savage yet brutally honest reflection. Fran joins their circle as their friend who is seemingly out of step with Tosh and Lou's anti-romantic philosophy. Sawyer plays this character like a mix of a grandma, a rock, and a confused pigeon. Fran's attempts to fit in with Tosh and Lou's intricate jokes are both adorable and hilarious. She exudes awkward and overly formal body language, while her far-off look of discomfort had everyone cackling. Most likely, we all have encountered a friend who resembles one of these three girls. Tosh is eccentric and tends to be excessively possessive. Lou is the truth-teller, the life of the party, and relies on Fran as a buffer for their flatmate drama. And then there's Fran, bless her heart. The loveable third wheel of the group, the epitome of predictability and a pro at long-term relationships. As the play progresses, the strains in Tosh and Lou's relationship become more apparent. Tosh’s harsh plea for Lou to stop seeking male validation highlights the toxicity that has seeped into their friendship. Their arguments, filled with miscommunication and intense emotion, are a testament to the complexity of female friendships. The peak of their conflict – a cruel argument where hurtful words are exchanged – is a stark reminder of just how fragile these bonds can be. The play captures the pain of friendship break-ups, which can often be more devastating than romantic ones. As the heartbreak unfolds, Ward's cries of anguish, Sawyer's comforting presence, and their shared tears set against the sounds of Chapell Roan created a scene similar to that of a Netflix drama. The audience was riveted, some even moved to tears. Director Ava Rusch, along with the creative team consisting of sound designer and dramaturg Ziggy Enoch, and lighting designer Claire Yorston, have crafted a production that captivates both visually and intellectually. The effective use of lighting and sound to shift between the 22 distinct scenes made a significant impact. "Scenes With Girls" is a play that will make you laugh, cry, and then reflect on the nature of friendships. It leaves you with a renewed appreciation for the friends who stand by you through thick and thin. It's a messy, unpredictable, yet beautifully authentic depiction of girlhood. The takeaway is crystal clear: friendships require effort, understanding, and forgiveness. So lean on your besties, cherish them, and remember that these bonds are just as significant as any romantic relationship.
