The 2002 Adelaide Festival has been full of earnest innovations, sparkling surprises and reflective moments. It has also, for audiences at least, been an organisational shambles.

Let’s start with "Gulpilil". A project initiated by Festival director Stephen
Page and Belvoir Company B director Neil Armfield, this theatre monologue
featuring one of Australia’s most distinguished screen actors was the
subject of much speculation. There was talk that the rehearsals weren’t going well, that they were taking place in a cave in the Blue Mountains, that David Gulpilil was finding it all too much and had gone back to his home in Ramingining in Arnhem Land. Even Page conceded, with his trademark candour, that he was worried that this Festival commission might not happen.

The eyes have it for theatre at the Adelaide Festival. Toronto’s CanStage even opens its accomplished performance of Gogol’s sardonic story with projected titles - just like the movies. Anyone familiar with the vibrant colours and evocative details of Ngarrindjeri man, Ian W. Abdulla’s paintings will be especially drawn to Windmill’s new work, Riverland.
