Playlovers in Floreat is going dark this March – and it’s not through a lack of lighting.

Staging the award-winning The Pillowman by Martin McDonagh, directed by Matt Longman, Playlovers is embracing what has been called “the darkest comedy of all time”.

       As a fundraiser for a film project, ‘Erotic readings’ was presented for one night, in the Velvet lounge at the Flying Scotsman in Mt. Lawley, Perth.
       Although many of the items were offered as simple moved-readings, a great deal of work had been put into the evening. One of the readings was an early twentieth century erotic masterpiece by Anais Nin, whilst others were superbly written, candid pieces from the actors’ university creative writing courses, with some uninhibited and funny articles by various well-known, young stage celebrities. All of the stories were extremely explicit, but told with such quality that Oscar Wilde and D. H. Lawrence would be proud to call them their own. The audience went with the flow and loved the brave presentation.

Mateship, loyalty and standing up for what you believe in are the cornerstones of Phoenix Theatre’s latest offering this March.

Presented by A lad in sane productions and written and directed by John Grimshaw, Bargain Burials is the age-old story of the little guys taking on Mr Big – and, in this case, the setting is the local cemetery.

I cast a fine young man in 'It's My Party (And I'll Die If I Want To) a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately he has just been in a car accident and is out of action for at least a month.

We are obviously very shocked and saddened by his injuries. But the show must go on.
