THEATRE REVIEWS

HE PARTIED LIKE IT’S 1999 - by Gary Helmore, directed by Andrew Blogg for Midsumma Festival 2026

"To this end he has left Rose, whose contained acting by Janine McGrath (Evenings With Janine, Queen Evil-streaming now on Prime) is beautifully and subtly presented as this flamboyant woman who is equally passionate about causes and protests as Marxist Reg, and still in love with him, but who now has to reconcile the betrayal of Reg as he has left the marriage and found love with Hunter. A raw pain found in many women and treated with insight and respect…" THEATRE MATTERS 28 January 2026
