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.
