Kate Gaul reviews DEMO, Melody Rachel's deceptively playful interactive show at Qtopia Sydney's Queer Hub — The Substation, where a cheerful game of binary choices (cats vs. dogs, Marmite vs. Vegemite) gradually tightens into much more uncomfortable territory around politics, gender and belief. Sydney Fringe 2026, 23–25 September.

This was not mere imitation or impersonation. MT's journey through SHUHADA was a strong and gentle odyssey: a craic, a backpack, a eulogy and a love poem to and for Sinéad O'Connor. Cathy Bray reviews MT McInerney's SHUHADA at The Substation (Qtopia), Darlinghurst, Sydney Fringe Festival, 24 September 2026.
