Theatre Review: Legally Blonde the Musical. Pelican Productions have put on an amazing version of the musical comedy. I can imagine all involved would be quite proud of this production.

A huge thanks to the editors @StrtegicRetweet (who invited to the team), @Briangods, and @theartsislife for the hard work organising and managing the high demands of performing arts editing. Can't wait to see what the next 10 years offer.

[Alex Dunkin @AlexDunkin]

10 years reviewing for @GlamAdelaide! It's been a privilege to experience so many shows over that time, especially to witness local and emerging productions grow from their raw forms into absolute standouts.

Given the speed with which the SA Labor government rushed through its changes to the Summary Offences Act to increase penalties for protest, I thought I'd do a quick thread looking at what it actually says. /1

Here's the bill:

[Pauline Pantsdown @PPantsdown]

Thread 🧵 -
Proposing legislation against in-person protest at children & family events, adapted from state 'Safe Access Zone' legislation for abortion clinics. You might see Drag Queen Storytime or Sunday School as unsafe for kids, but when kids are there, you keep away. /1

Adelaide Fringe Review: The DOs and DON'Ts of Doing It. 4.5 stars from me for a play with perky framing for an often unspoken reality.

Adelaide Fringe Review for Glam Adelaide. In Pour Taste.
It was a great evening out. The show's a relaxed and entertaining fringe experience that blends comedy with wine sampling.

My first review for Mad March is up. @adelaidefest's Hans and Gret featuring impressive, unique staging with room to tease out more from the characters and plot.
