Roundhouse Theatre, La Boite | Brisbane Festival

“…with Simone Romaniuk’s exhilarating costumes setting the tone for the performance in this interesting space; the munchkins as neon rave kids, a hipster scarecrow, lion and tin man, and the wicked witch, swathed in a sculptural dress, adopting the stance of a high-fashion model. It’s fabulous – and stimulating – to look at, properly intergrated into a show that aims to confront and surprise.”

“But this particular retelling brings an unexpected life to the tale, largely due to the quirky set and costume design by Simone Romaniuk. It’s a sort of spellbound backyard, where the story’s familiar faces suddenly morph into these technicolour-pop-culture hybrids, turning your wholesome family fare into a provocative Gaga-esque amusement park.”
