  4 out of 5 stars SAYArts 4 SHOWS REMAINING. TICKETS AVAILABLE HERE Play written by Alby T. Grace As SA Youth Arts Theatre Co (or SAYArts for short) celebrates their 10 th year of performing in the Adelaide Fringe. Bunker becomes another example of the discipline a group of 13–18-year-olds can apply to develop a story that is attention-grabbing and engaging to an audience, ably led by an industry professional artists and creatives. Lilly and Tim wake up in their thirteenth bunker, eight years into the apocalypse. They're stuck with the movie obsessed Johnny, who can't get through a speech without mixing up his film quotes. Throughout, they are joined by wild man Osbourne and eventually, a 3D printed AI android personification of the bunker. Why? Because this isn’t just any bunker, it's a Bunker, (insert umlaut on the U) one of the largest structures ever built by man. But who kidnapped who? What do Lilly and Tim really want? And should we be worried about the advanc...

4.0 out of 5 stars LOC’ALLY THEATR 6 SHOWS ACROSS 3 WEEKS – YOU CAN’T USE THE “I WAS AT ANOTHER FRINGE SHOW” EXCUSE CLICK ME FOR TICKETS! Opening Night is Saturday 2nd March with performances at the Parks Theatre, Angle Vale. Story by Andrew Bovell Loc’ally Theatr was conceived in late 2023 by Lochie Daniel and Ally Gum, and with a talented cast, they are about to debut their first production, Things I Know to be True, penned by local playwright, Andrew Bovell. It needs to be noted that this preview lacked the presence of Lizzie Zeuner and understudy Kayla Cranfield for Pip Price, and as such, Production Manager Ally Gum stepped into the role for the first time for the Preview run and did a great job! If you’re looking for a fun, happy, hilarious piece of theatre – this is not for you! It pulls on the heartstrings at least 4 times, and twice on Sundays, with a powerful climax ending Act 1… only to be outdone by the climax and tears at the end of Act 2. I’ll say no more… While t...

4.5 out of 5 stars EMMA KNIGHTS PRODUCTION 3 SHOWS ONLY! 16 th Feb, 17 th Feb 7:30 @ Star Theatre; 23 rd Feb 7:30 @ Parks Theatre “A parody musical based on reality TV dating shows” – well they got that right! Beginning over a glass of red, Emma Knights and Samara Gill penned a couple of songs… some time later it moulded its way into this witty, hilarious One Act musical. With Music & Lyrics by Samara Gill and Emma Knights, and Book by Emma Knights, this original work of satirical theatre is a must see for anyone that loves a good Bachelor season… but also those that have never seen an episode (guilty as charged). Except for a couple of episodes from First Dates , the closest I’ve come to watching a dating reality show was an American TV series, “ UnReal ”, focussing on the manipulative producers and crew behind the scenes of the scandals and dramas you would otherwise see in a final cut. Along with the comedic timing and presentation in Eden Trebilco’s role as Producer, U...

4 out of 5 stars Playing until Saturday 10 th February. The Australian Premiere of ' Spies Are Forever' , presented by FUPAS, is a new musical originally staged at the NoHo Arts Center, NY in 2016. As such, it’s primarily known by those that are regular supporters of StarKid, and other works these students at the time had also been involved in. Outside of that, it’s unknown. Nonetheless, a tight backstage crew ( Kudos Kiara Irvine and Diego Tovar Gallo ) and a ridiculously funny onstage team took out opening night as if it was a James Bond villain – with a bang! Four years after the death of his partner Owen, super spy Curt Mega struggles to return to his former glory, masking his grief & guilt with charisma & booze ( and a terrible beard ). But when the American Secret Service (A.S.S) uncovers a plot to rebuild the Nazi empire, Curt is thrust into the field to save the world once again. Equipped with a license to kill and the voice of an angel, Agent Mega must t...
