One might be pardoned for assuming, from the preponderance of mono-dramas at this year’s Adelaide Festival, that some mix of budgetary pressures and theatrical taste has meant that drama even the minimal Greek combination of three theatrical presences is not high on the director’s shopping list. Elsewhere, as in Perth during its recent Festival, there are theatre offerings which indicate that slightly larger- scale works can actually be programmed.

However, given this proviso, State Theatre Company’s Beckett Triptych –  – and Olwen Fouéré’s riverrun (sic) – –  offer audiences four distinguished solo performers who bring varying levels of virtuosity and insight to their roles.
