I got an e-mail a little while back inviting me to review a show at Anywhere Festival which was pretty exciting.
On Sunday night Karen and I left early from a family gathering and headed for Elements Collective a bar in the Valley.
I really enjoyed the themes and jokes of Plucked, the first show from new theatre company WhittleBerry.
The review ran in the Weekend Notes newsletter, racked up some views and the following weekend the show was sold out.
So a lot can be expected from WhittleBerry in the years to come and it was very exciting to see their firsrt show.

I really enjoyed going to the Anywhere Festival in 2021 and seeing a terrific show.
As Karen and I headed home, I once again realised how lucky i was to live in Australia while developments happened elsewhere.
Actress Lisa Hickey made her directorial debut here, I had previously seen her perform in The Curators productions of Uncle Vanya and Ibsen’s Ghosts, and as Cassius in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar mounted by heartBeast Theatre, writing reviews for Scenestr and Weekend Notes.

It had been a while since we had gone to see a show in the Valley. I once again realised how lucky i was to live in Australia while developments happened elsewhere.

Ah! The return of live theatre. Thrilling, isn’t it, Lloyd.
It was a great show to see Don and nice to be out and about. The best thing is what it means for all these creative people. The arts have struggled here with COVID. Government support has been limited too.
Good review, Lloyd. I wouldn’t usually consider anything like that, but you made it sound appealing.
Best wishes, Pete.
Don’t want to see a play in the backroom of a bar? I thought you were an Eastender? 🙂 Best wishes Pete.
I have seen lots of plays in pub theatres that were smaller than my kitchen. 🙂 It was the plot that might have put me off.
First dates gone awry? Too cliched for you? Well anyway this was good as you surmised. 🙂 Best wishes Pete.
It would have been, had I not read your review. 🙂
