Sydney Festival: From Thomas Weatherall's Blue to Stephanie Lake's Manifesto and the harbourside Vigil, this year hit us in the feels

We've spent the last 23 days cramming in as much of Sydney Festival as we could, taking in everything from immersive visual art to provocative cabaret, 80s-styled circus and beach opera — even in torrential rain, or on glorious blue-sky days when we were tempted to hit the beach instead.

That means we feel pretty well-placed to share our favourites from the festival, from the jam-packed first week to the very last. We hope you take some time this weekend to get a final show in (you know we will).
