943EntertainmentTheatre Review: Any Number Can Die
The action is filled with all the elements required for a murder mystery, with a lot of comedy thrown in. We have a deserted mansion, on an isolated island, in a storm, where a group of suspicious characters are meeting for the midnight reading of a will!

Playwright Joe Landry's Vintage Hitchcock is a clever reworking of three classic 1930s Alfred Hitchcock British films (before Hollywood discovered him), The Lodger:A Story Of The London Fog (1929), Sabotage (1936) and The 39 Steps (1935).

997EntertainmentTheatre Review: Rookery Nook
Quick witted and ungainliness is the central hallmark of The Tea Tree Players new show Rookery Nook. A blisteringly quick script and a rapid succession of entries and exits gives the audience everything they would expect from a British farce.

No one could take this play seriously, which is fine because Ken Ludwig, the author, obviously intended to make us laugh.

It’s always a treat to see a Tea Tree Players production. The set is always beautifully constructed, the lights are spot on and the costumes always appropriate for the era and the work. Groping for Words is no exception to the rule.

1.5KArtsTheatre Review: Life and Beth
The not so grieving widow, annoying sister in law, unctuous priest, insensitive son, long suffering girlfriend and dead husband. Who could ask for anything more really? It’s comedic heaven!

851ArtsTheatre Review: Tom, Dick and Harry
Take a ridiculous plot, add a few corny jokes and some unlikely situations and you have a really funny play. This is no bedroom farce; there are no dropped trousers or scantily clad girls; but there is plenty of laughter. Father and son duo Ray and Michael Cooney have penned an excellent script,

778ArtsTheatre Review: Out Of Sight… Out Of Murder
It’s always great to be cheered up when the country is in turmoil! Out of Sight… Out of Murder gives you just what is needed to forget that there is a gladiatorial contest going on in Canberra which isn’t half as much fun as this show.

Ivan Menchell’s The Cemetery Club is a very realistic look into the lives of three widows, who visit their husband’s headstones and have formed the appropriately named club.

562ArtsTheatre Review: It Runs In The Family
Farce is one of the hardest of theatrical genres to do well. Ray Cooney is a master at writing perhaps the best of British farce; Barry Hill is expert at directing it; and Tea Tree Players tend to do it very well.

687ArtsTheatre Review: Laying The Ghost
Simon Williams' Laying The Ghost is almost regular Tea Tree Players' fare for its audiences, but not quite. It is NOT a farce but rather a gentle comedy.
