#Malthouse #MerlynTheatre ECHO: Every Cold-Hearted Oxygen. Another Nassim Soleimanpour ‘cold read’ play, with added AV trickery including himself from Berlin, exploring his traumatic relationship with Iran. But potent messages are watered down & Pia Miranda’s role is sidelined rather than a conduit.

#MerlynTheatre #VictorianOpera Parrwang Lifts the Sky. I’d been eagerly to see Deborah Cheetham Fraillon‘s children’s opera, but was disappointed: simplistic (not ‘simple’), awkward, musically conservative, tricked-up staging, pantomime action; a sense of being talked down to. Just fine.
