If you see one show this year, make it "Last Cab to Darwin". Written by local playwright Reg Cribb, this play recently won the Patrick White award.

Go see this show. To see the sheer brilliance of performances by Barry Otto, Justine Saunders and Jackie Weaver. The ensemble cast are as equally amazing.

To see this, is baring witness to a future Australian classic.

I cannot praise this show enough, and it is most certainly play of the year (to date at least).

It is long (almost 3 hours) but so was Lord of the Rings and this has an interval.

I am not going to go through the nitty gritty, but I loved the set, the imagery, the soundscape, the performances, just everything.

Just see it. Octagon Theatre to April 17 before it transfers to the Sydney Opera House.
