Introducing Matthew Lyon - what he does in a theatre for a review. How do I structure my written review? Should I be reviewing harshly? How much theatre knowledge do I need to be a reviewer? What if I know the people in a theatre production I'm reviewing? If I'm a theatre reviewer, am I able to review other genres of performing arts? Should I be using theatre terminology in my review? Can I be an artist and a critic at the same time? What is the difference between a reviewer and a critic?

Matthew Lyon also teaches Theatre at the School of the Arts. This series of interviews was conducted by Dr Robin Loon on 4 March 2014.
