The Bondi Festival, once a vibrant winter spectacle, appears to be at critical stage in its life.

New York’s famed Tony Awards have recognised Australian actress Sarah Snook and the Sydney Theatre Company’s production of The Picture of Dorian Gray. Snook, who plays 26 different parts in the remarkable and theatrically acclaimed production, won Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role and Marg Horwell won Best Costume Design in a
Stepping into “Titanic: The Human Story in Sydney is less like visiting a museum and more like embarking on a voyage through time, a journey that manages to pluck at every emotional string, leaving you laughing at the sheer absurdity of human hubris and weeping at the profound tragedy of it all.
