Ensemble Theatre, Kirribilli
We all wish we’d said certain things at certain times. This play explores what happens when we don’t: we short-change ourselves, professionally and personally.

Tue, 23 Nov - Sat, 18 Dec 2010
Stella Downer Fine Art Gallery, Waterloo
May Barrie is 93 and takes delight in bare existence — the boulders that surround her Calderwood property, Callemondah, represent the way her internal and external worlds interconnect.
