This month, Black Swan State Theatre Company brings to theatre goers in Perth their production of The Seagull. The play by Anton Chekhov is a classic, with this season’s production using a new adaptation by Hilary Bell.

There is more than meets the eye in this play, and although the lake setting is beautifully tranquil, the action on stage is passionate and dramatic, as the audience is quickly swept into the turmoil of the characters upon the curtain's rising.

While my partner and I have seen our fair share of plays and performances in the last few years, there has been one area in which we haven't had much experience - that of improvisational theatre. Our last contact with improv theatre was a couple of episodes of Theatresports on the ABC from way back in the late 80's or early 90's.

So we weren't exactly sure what to expect when arriving at the Bedford RSL Club to watch Improv Club conducted by Just Improvise. How entertaining are actors when they don't have a script to fall back on?

At Last - The Etta James Story is now showing at the Regal Theatre in Subiaco. As one of the most influential R&B soul singers of all time, the story of Etta James is a colourful one, her life fraught with challenges from the day she was born to her delinquent teenage mother.

Despite facing many adversities in life, she rose to stardom to do what she was most passionate about – singing - and sing she did – recording 28 studio albums over her career, with famous songs such as “I’d Rather Go Blind” and “At Last”. She is a living legend in the rock and roll hall of fame.

Are you looking to buy a bike in Perth?

With traffic congestion on the rise in our fast growing city of Perth, commuting to work by bike, or enjoying a scenic ride along the foreshore and scenic routes, could become a regular activity to enjoy. Buying your next bike through Atma Cycles will help you get out and about to explore Perth and at the same time help someone in need.

Atma Cycles – "Buy a Bike, Gift a Future", stands for Consumer Powered Change, and for every bicycle sold, one is given to a schoolgirl in India, to enable her to get an education and pull her whole family out of the poverty cycle.

The social enterprise is the brainchild of Perth entrepreneur Alex Carpenter who was inspired to create Atma Cycles after coming across the initiative developed by Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS Shoes.
