Reviews

  • "The Playground in the Sky is the first show that I have seen that offers a mature reflection on the impacts of natural disasters on young people. It didn’t shy away from the triggering effects of sirens and rainfall, the impact of displacement and loss, and the different ways in which members of families respond to life’s many challenges—including through play, fantasy, dreams, and games. I am so pleased I had the opportunity to see the premiere of this excellent new work by Harry Fritsch (Playwright), and to be yet again impressed by the work of Virag Dombay."

    Catherine Lawrence, Creative Futures on ‘The Playground In the Sky’

  • "The Playground In The Sky is a captivating and entertaining theatre trip for kids, families and adults."

    Glorianna Grace, Nothing Ever Happens In Brisbane on ‘The Playground In the Sky’

  • "This is a beautifully directed professional ‘young adult’ performance of an excellent piece of new writing"

    Catherine Lawrence, Creative Futures on ‘The Playground in the Sky’

  • "A thought-provoking show about the frustrations and musings of under-18s, providing insights as to their thoughts about the adults in their lives. I really hope more adults get to see this new work, and listen to the questions and concerns of the next generation".

    Catherine Lawrence, Creative Futures on ‘Dear Adults…’

  • "There’s nothing quite like Verbatim Theatre. It’s an experience that no other medium has ever effectively captured. And no other style has quite so succinctly proved theatre’s capacity for inciting social progression. There is something powerful about watching a drama unfold and knowing these are not the contrived words of a playwright sitting at a computer screen, but the real words, real experiences and real stories of the people beneath the text. It can be joyous. It can be challenging. It can be philosophical. And Dear Adults, presented at BackDock Arts, is all three."

    Bradley Chapman, Bravo Brisbane on ‘Dear Adults…’

  • “It’s an important show for adults and their children. It’s a show where you could take your child to and be entertained, but also be educated and most importantly a chance to create a discussion and engage with children around their fears, concerns, or complicated questions that they are looking to have answered.”
