Paul Bertram MediaSarah Wilson Reviews"Set in Brian Thomson's soaring, shadowy, cage-like design, suggesting the wreckage of the World Trade Centre towers and symbolising how terrorism has altered the shape of things, Stuff Happens is immediate, brilliantly crafted and riveting... Director Neil Armfield's splendidly realised production is clear, purposeful and near-seamless... Stone is outstanding as Bush, his portrait darkening to offer more than a satirical stand-up routine of a cowboy out of his depth, though there's plenty of that. Rhys Muldoon's depiction of the politely desperate Blair is brilliant. Dykstra is memorably manipulative as Rumsfeld, as is Russell Kiefel as the ludicrously repugnant Cheney." "Stuff Happens is about contemporary events - the lead-up to the war in Iraq - but its not a documentary and it's not a polemic. It is a thoroughly absorbing epic drama using real people as its characters and giving all of them a voice in its conflicts.... Part of the pleasure of watching Neil Armfield's production is watching one of the best large casts assembled in Sydney for many years." "...a fascinating account, studded with ironic humour and given a wonderfully fluid production by Neil Armfield and his 16 actors... Whatever your opinion, I encourage you to see Stuff Happens." Colin Rose, The Sun Herald, 24.07.05 |
Art takes us to a place that journalism can't: the psychological heart of the characters in an epic story like the build-up to war against |
