So there could be two SpongeBobs, three Planktons or a whole clan of Krabs. In having multiple actors play single roles, the complexity of the characters is explored and highlights STaM’s message of inclusivity.

Craig is exceptional as Anna. We witness an intensity in her performance from ascendance to descendance, from desire to devastation.Inthefirstscene, Carissa Licciardello beautifully directs the two lovers in an almost balletic dance of passion.

This perfectly sets up the self-deception as Anna, holed up in a hotel room to avoid the paparazzi, convinces herself that she will emerge unscathed from this love affair.

The plot may be implausible in places; nevertheless, Ellis and Opolski carry the audience with them throughout, enabling the suspensionof belief.Kitsch and clutter abound in a great set designed by Lowry and Keith Francis.

Sam Johnson and Matthew Hunter have commendably stepped in at the 11th hour to perform roles, following cast illness.

When guests arrive, they are greeted byWadsworth, the butler (Mason Frost) and asone might expect, the butler does most of thework. Wadsworth is the centre piece that ties everything together, it’s a pivotal role and Frost does a great job. His accent (English ), energy – he needs lots – and authenticity, orshould that be his duplicity, is impressive.

The menagerie of characters includes the black-widow-esque ironically named Mrs White, played menacingly by Claire Baldwin, the dubious Professor Plum from a convincing Josh Hayes, and the bumbling nervousdisaster Mr Green, who David Cowell nailed with some excellent comic timing.

Well done also to Danny Gibbins for her portrayal of the privileged Mrs Peacock,Katie Coy on her sultry Miss Scarlet, Janine Howe as cook – she got plenty of laughs –and Justine Garnes as the French maid. There were also some excellent smaller roles, most notable, Sorab Kaikobad as Mr Boddy.

This was not an overly polished or finessed production, some accents faltered and there were some pace issues, but nevertheless a good night’s entertainment. Review by Beth Klein

Suzie Miller’s Anna K takes its inspiration from Tolstoy’s masterpiece, dragging this 19thcentury protofeminist text into the 21st century.

This family friendly show aims to demonstrate to audiences what inclusivity can look like, and to encourage audiences to re-evaluate their perception of the potential of individuals with disabilities.

Media Flashes

The play is a stage adaptation of the 1985movie of the same name based on the board game Cluedo. Set in 1954 at a remote New England (American accents required) mansion, six oddball and cliched characters are invited to a soiree, and from arrival, mayhemand murder ensues.

Performance details: until September 4.

This show should be seen. The simplicity of the staging, the power of the message and the delight of the cast show what can be achieved when an ensemble (or for that matter, a community) work together.

“My dream was to create a theatrical experience that allows performers like Zac and myself to share the spotlight, shining on stage equally brightly, albeit very differently, as bright as the stars and the moon.”

“We both love the stage, yet there are markedly fewer opportunities for him to participate in serious theatre than those afforded to me.

Lionel is not the first expert to view Maude’s unlikely Pollock.

The story follows the contours of the time and days spent in Gander but within that time we witness cultural dissonance, romance and a spirit of community that hopefully speaks more loudly and enduringly than the atrocity that brought it to the fore.

As the story unfolds, we get a glimpse of what is driving Maude to pursue authentication.

Unable to see her child due to her vindictive husband, trolled relentlessly on social media, and her career in tatters, Anna spirals into a madness of regret.

While Tolstoy opts for tragedy as a resolution to a doomed love affair, Miller opts for redemption.Whatremains in Miller’s play, as a kind of homage to the original, is that the double standard is alive and well.

In Miller’s version, Anna Kay (Caroline Craig), too, gives up everything for a chance at love with a handsome, much younger lover (Callan Colley).

Woolf felt Tolstoy lacked empathy for Anna’s destiny.What with social media and the pile-on women in the public eye are subjected to these days, Woolf might be surprised that women who transgress by falling in love with someone other than their husband are still the subject of vitriol.

The SpongeBob Inclusical can be seen from September 18-21 at the Alexander Theatre, Monash University, Clayton. Tickets are available at www.starsandthemoon.org

Maude is invested in the painting for more than wealth, fame and a ticket out of the trailer park.Instead, Maude likens Pollock’s frenzied, abstract expressionist style to her son, who died in a car accident: “There was a storm inside that boy. Like that painting. Like that.”

Enter Lionel Percy (Nicholas Opolski), art expert and a former director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, who has the power to either verify the painting or declare it a fake.

■ (MA). 93 minutes. Now showing in Idriscinemas.Elba is busy at the moment, and another film now showing in cinemas starring the talented actor is Beast, an entertaining if largely predictable movie that uses its Jaws type formula to fun effect.

While the script (based on the short story by A.S. Byatt, and adapted by Miller and his daughter, Augusta Gore ) has the feel of something that may have passed Terry Gilliam’s desk at one point, the Australian film-maker’s execution of it couldn’t be more poles apart than if the ex-Python member had have helmed the production.

Elba again shows what a strong screen presence he is.

Karo and Long develop an easygoing chemistry, sharing jokes and intimacyWhenequally.thecamaraderie breaks down, however, the sadness is palpable.

RATING - ****

Three Thousand Years Of Longing will definitely divide some audiences, as Miller and his team expects the audience to pay attention to what is playing out on screen, but as stated before, for those who do discover its wavelength, it will provide rich, rewarding entertainment.

RATING - *** - Aaron Rourke

■ Our reality is an intriguing puzzle box of assumptions that are teased out in Christopher Chen’s play, Caught.

Three Thousand Years Of Longing is quite the anomaly in Hollywood major releases, requiring its audience to discover the film’s wavelength, and have patience in becoming involved with its material and approach to it.

Until September 11. www.redstitch.net - Review by David McLean Heart Is WastelandA

The audience is welcomed to an exhibition of the works of Lin Bo (Louis Le) but in a subsequent interview by journalists, Joyce (Jessica Clarke) and Bob (David Whiteley), the truth of Bo’s past is forensically examined – a form of interrogation equivalent to what he had experienced as a dissident in his home country.

Pride tram

Prior to the rebrand in 2020, Circus Nexus was known as Westside Circus, founded by Debbie Mariarz in 1996.For25 years, the organisation has provided Victorians with opportunities to engage in the circus arts through their public and community outreach programs and is now expanding to support emerging artists and industry professionals in the creation and rehearsal of their work.

Dates and Times: September 9 and 10 at 7.30pm and September 11 at 3pm

The very nature of this interrogation becomes the subject of an art installation by Wang Min (Jing-Xuan Chan) where the polemics of cultural assumptions become a source of frustration for the curator (Jesica Clarke) but was this all just a play – we see inside the actors dressing room where the artists playing Lin Bo and Wang

Promising his ‘owner’ three wishes, Alithea is reluctant to make one, as she says she feels content with her life, plus is acutely aware of the complications of making such a wish.

Swinton and Elba are perfectly cast, and bring totally conviction to their roles and dialogue-heavy

The downside is the complete use of CGI to present the lions onscreen, and while one understands that real animals can’t be used during genuinely savage attack scenes, it is disappointing that the actual beasts aren’t even used in general landscape or introductory shots.That missing feeling, along with its general premise, reminded me of the 1981 film Savage Harvest, starring Tom Skerritt, a not terribly good film that benefited greatly from some startlingly effective attack scenes, where you felt the danger was real because the animals were real.

Silvia Shao’s set is simplicity personified – black and white flats insinuating a gallery. The falling of the ‘second wall’ revealing the dressing room makes one believe we have entered the inner sanctum.

Circus Nexus Live will present new work performed by four emerging artists who have received funding from Circus Nexus to develop their act over a six-week incubator program.

Elba is Dr Nate Samuels, who takes his two teenage daughters, Norah (Leah Jeffries) and Meredith (Iyana Halley) back to his ex-wife’s homeland of South Africa, as their mother has recently passed away due to a longterm illness.Re-uniting with old friend Martin (Sharlto Copely), the local takes the dysfunctional family for a drive into the wild, but it isn’t long before they are under attack from a particularly ferocious lion, who seems intent on killing every human in the area.The script keeps things simple, as does director Baltasar Kormakur (Jar City, Everest), who thankfully doesn’t protract the material beyond its inherent worth, and its lean, compact nature is certainly refreshingly old-school.

While dismissing a number of mystical tales due to the advent of science and fact, Alithea is overwhelmed by an unusual vision, and this continues after she purchases a small glass-blown jar from a local store, which, when she opens it at her luxurious hotel room, a large Djinn (Idris Elba) emerges from it.

■ (M). 108 minutes. Now showing in Georgecinemas.Miller, after the tremendous critical and commercial (not to mention Oscar) success of Mad Max : Fury Road in 2015 (which still remains one of my favourite big screen experiences of all time), finally returns with a new film, and it couldn’t be any more different from his previous outing, but once again, may prove to be among one of the best films of the year.

In the end, an aura of sadness permeates the narrative, echoing the lived experience of many First Nations people.Performed at the Fairfax.Studio, Arts Centre Melbourne.

Retirement delayed

The reason is clear, say numerous media experts: “There is no trust.” People want to find independent news sources without biases and here is where the mainstream media has miserably failed.

Changes in Social Security such as the increase in the normal retirement age are complete, there is unlikely to be much more of a shift to defined-contribution retirement plans from definedbenefit pensions, gains in educational attainment at older ages have flattened out, as have improvements in health, and the shift away from retiree health benefits is nearly complete, Munnell writes.She concludes: “The major drivers for the gains to date appear to have played themselves out.”

This finding echoes the recent trend reported by Axios that overall news engagement is down compared to 2020, citing a decline in interest in news about COVID-19 and politics.

■ The Boring Company's underground transportation system will be more expansive than what it originally planned. The Elon Musk-founded company has just received approval from the city to bring its underground transportation system called the Vegas Loop to city limits. When Clark County Commissioners first approved the Vegas Loop , it was supposed to be a 29-mile tunnel network connecting 51 stations. Now, the network will span 34 miles and have a total of 55 stations, including ones that will serve the Harry Reid International Airport and the Allegiant Stadium. Boring Co. President Steve Davis said tunneling in downtown Las Vegas could begin in 2023: "This is step two and there are eight steps for us to be opening. There's a long way to go and a lot of work to do. But if I were to guess on the spot I would guess we'd have machines in (the ground) next calendar year." According to the publication, the downtown stations include the Strat, Fremont Street Experience, the Slotzilla attraction, the Garage Mahal at the Circa Resort and the Plaza Hotel. Boring could add other stations in the future, as well, with each one costing anything in between $1.5 to $20 million to build.

If Hinch does win a seat this November, he says, integrity and transparency will be top of his to do list.
