Geelong only feels a long way away when you're in peak hour traffic, otherwise it's an easy drive – or catch the train.

I didn't get into Monkey Magic when it replaced The Goodies on the ABC in the 1980s, but this production has made me fall in love with the story.

If you have kids and want them to see some totally gorgeous theatre, there are three shows left.

My review is in The Age.
