1 Fly Away Peter Review (Carriageworks, Sydney) Benjamin Neutze , 2015 single work review
— Appears in: Daily Review , 5 May 2015;
— Review of Fly Away Peter Pierce Wilcox , 2015 single work musical theatre '...CO’s latest world premiere, an adaptation of David Malouf’s 1982 novel Fly Away Peter, is a work of dramatic and musical integrity which manages to, in moments, tug at the heartstrings as well as any of the great classic tragic operas. The opera follows Jim Saddler (Mitchell Riley), a birdwatcher from the Gold Coast, as he enlists in the army and travels to the Western front during World War I...'
1 Animal/People Review (Bondi Pavilion Theatre, Sydney) Benjamin Neutze , 2015 single work review
— Appears in: Daily Review , 4 May 2015;
— Review of Animal/People Brooke Robinson , 2015 single work drama 'Playwright Brooke Robinson’s Animal/People is an Australian suburban thriller so firmly in the vein of Andrew Bovell’s Speaking in Tongues that the promotional material attests to it. Robinson’s focus is perhaps sharper than Bovell’s, looking specifically at a family torn apart by the animal instincts of men.'

— Appears in: Daily Review , 27 April 2015;

Playwright Tom Holloway’s version has a clear focus on younger audiences (although that’s not to say there’s not plenty for adults to enjoy) so it was a little difficult to gauge exactly what the reaction might be to an understated and often dark piece of theatre from its target audience...'

— Appears in: Daily Review , 10 April 2015;
— Review of The Anzac Project Geoffrey Atherden , Vanessa Bates , 2015 selected work drama 'So 2015 is the year of ANZAC art.

1 A Rabbit for Kim Jong-Il Review (Griffin Theatre, Sydney) Benjamin Neutze , 2015 single work review
— Appears in: Daily Review , 19 October 2015;
