This is a multi-generational production concerning two families that spans London, the Coorong in South Australia and Alice Springs over 80 years from 1959.

Made In China 2.0 – (Malthouse Theatre, Melbourne, Australia) I'm faced with a predicament I can't say I've confronted too many times in decades of reviewing. I've just seen a compelling piece of theatre which I'm about to highly recommend, but I'm going to resist going into detail about the plot because of political sensitivities.

Nosferatu – (Malthouse Theatre, Melbourne, Australia) The play starts with a heartfelt warning from one of the characters that only tragedy puts you on the map. A plea to save ourselves, that's us the audience, as it's too late for her, rings out. Hence begins the tale of an unremarkable mining town in Tasmania beset by evil.

Coming Out – (Chapel Off Chapel, Melbourne, Australia) Showmanship, humour, pathos, anger, avert messaging and song are part of this well-meaning, but noticeably stretched offering. At its core is a gay man, Cole, Stephen Loftus, now comfortable in his own skin, although, it wasn't always that way. He talks about his school years and coming out to his parents. And then after he references a mentor, played by Scott Taylor, the mood of the production quickly changes.

Prima Facie – (Fairfax Studio, Arts Centre Melbourne, Australia) Tessa Ensler, played by Sheridan Harbridge, is a successful barrister. She knows the tricks of the trade and defends her clients, many alleged sexual offenders, vehemently. She relishes the game, circling witnesses until she's ready to pounce, having lulled them into a false sense of security. She's good. Very good. Those who know her know how she operates and what's coming. The witnesses are mere lambs to the slaughter.

The theatrics, the staging, set design and magic introduced into this Disney and Cameron McIntosh production are sublime. I speak of everything from the doll's house that opens up to the Banks family home, to the appearance of Poppins' iconic large-scale brolly towards the end of the show.
