1.2KAdelaide FringeFringe Review: Squeeze My Cabaret
Alongside her hugely successful Squeeze My Cans, theatrical polymath Cathy Schenkelberg is premiering her new show, Squeeze My Cabaret, at this year’s Fringe. It is a blatant fun-poke at the silliness of a so-called “religion” founded by a science-fiction writer.

Step back to the roaring twenties and enjoy the silliness that sees Ruby, an American heiress, and Hester, an East-End social climber, get together with a piano and a fair amount of booze. The two ladies are accompanied by a pianist who we are led to believe doesn’t speak English, leading to some comic exchanges.

1.6KAdelaide FestivalFestival Review: Sretensky Monastery Choir
There is nothing that compares to the sound of a male voice choir singing a Capella. The language doesn’t really matter, the harmonies and the resonance are superb if the choir is any good, and this choir is not just good!

Palmyra was inspired by the destruction of the ancient city in Syria by Isis and the concert which was held in the ruins a year later.

Co-creators Christine Johnston, Rosemary Myers and Shona Reppe, working with Windmill Theatre Co and Imaginate, Scotland have produced a terrific modern version of the Russian folk tale Baba Yaga.

1.9KAdelaide FringeFringe Review: Reverend Billy and the Stop Shopping Choir: Earthalujah!
We enter the ecclesiastical gloom of the Bonython Hall. Dim blue lights glow from the far-off stage. As is only proper, the choir processes into the venue. We hear them behind us, singing a segment of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah, as they make their way to the stage. They sound great, although the words seem unfamiliar. Banners, carried by two children, proclaim “Stop Shopping: Earthalujah!”
