A Christmas Carol: Review
Genevieve Spiteri reviews Australia's fourth run of Charles Dickens' beloved Christmas tale. Heavy spoilers ahead for the novel and light spoilers for this production! (Although if you don’t know how the story goes by this point, that’s kind of on you) Premiering to London audiences nine years ago, Matthew Warcus and Jack Thorne’s production of A Christmas Carol has been praised as one of the greatest theatrical adaptations of the source material, and after experiencing it
Student musos battle for the spotlight
Swinburne students will be taking the stage at the Leadbeater Hotel for the third annual Inter-Varsity Battle of the Bands this Friday, Ella O'Neill and Matthew Parkhill report. Melbourne's music gig scene is not exactly rock n' roll. Musicians are expected more than ever to fork out cash for gigs themselves and create their own brand, playing a game of 'who you know' to get the ball rolling. Since COVID, venues have seen running costs soar, passing on some of those demands t

Review: The Bride! (2026)
Leila Cochrane reviews Maggie Gyllenhaal's The Bride! A campy retelling of the story of Ida, the bride to Frankenstein's Monster. If you haven't heard of Maggie Gyllenhaal's film ‘The Bride', you should take note. A feminist reimagining of the original 1935 cinematic release of "Bride of Frankenstein" by James Whale, The Bride! gives life to the monster's 'girlfriend', named Ida, played by Jessie Buckley. Under director Maggie Gyllenhaal's vision, The Bride! takes place in
Is Rage just Guilt Disguised
Erin Kavanagh writes Is Rage Just Guilt Disguised, a window into the reality that is women's healthcare rights. Tick. Tick. Tick. I shut my eyes tight, hoping that would somehow block out that damn clock. It’s not enough that the lady next to me is bouncing her leg up and down, shaking the couch we’re sitting on, or that the pregnant woman across the room is flipping through a magazine in the loudest way possible. It isn’t enough that this clinic seems to be the absolute hot
The Day He Said I Do
Ashleigh Illingworth writes The Day He Said I Do, a sombre story about watching your dreams fade before your eyes. She sits at the table across the room, the world passing her by. Her stunning, satin, lavender dress, draping over her statuesque figure. People thriving in conversations that she couldn’t be further away from. The guests are walking past, dancing, enjoying the festivities, but she seems to be floating in space. Travelling to another planet, maybe even another u

Before August
Amy Anderson captures the quiet moments where we wonder when we left our inner child behind in Before August. We race to grow up and then wish we never grew (Image: Adobe Stock) During that summer when I was nine years old, I would ride my second-hand pink bike around the neighbourhood. The other kids in the street would join me. We knew nothing of the world, and the world knew nothing of us yet. It was always Abbey’s front yard where we’d leave our bikes all over the lawn,
Broken Bones
Amy Anderson writes Broken Bones for the Prose Poetics unit, a story on love and heartbreak. Some broken things never mend (Image: Adobe Stock) She’d broken her arm the day after we broke up. Karma, I’d say. ‘Get up.’ She says it coldly, standing over me. I must've fallen asleep. ‘Fuck off, B.’ I mumble it out, enjoying the damp grass on the bottom of my back. I close my eyes, and she kicks me in the arm. ‘I said fuck off, B,’ I say a little louder. ‘Jamie, stop being a prick
La Niña to El Niño: what it means for summer
After the warmest September in history, Australia headed into its first El Niño summer since 2015-16. So what does this mean and what are the risks? Tim McGrath reports Spring is a beautiful time of the year. The flowers are blooming, the short, cold days of winter are disappearing into the rearview, and the sun is starting to show itself for the first time in months. For many, AFL grand final day exemplifies this change as we officially say farewell to winter. This year, h
