How To Disappear

Hi,

I saw 'How To Disappear Completely And Never Be Found' last week and it has been on my mind since. I am unsure how to express this, but I will try anyway. Seeing the play was an incredible experience for me. The performance of the actors was absolutely incredible and the lead, in particular, never once stepped out of character. The play was one of the best, if not the best, I have ever seen. The theme, I believe, went right to the core of our society's pressing issue: what happens when you get where you always aimed to be but you still feel this emptiness inside. I would like to thank you for holding up a mirror to our society and for offering theatre that is bold, moving and excellent. Well done.

Featured event
Beaumaris Theatre Company (Melbourne) presents
A Streetcar Named Desire

Tennesee Williams

Fred Pezzimenti

A Streetcar Named Desire is one of Tennesee Williams' most powerful dramas. It is a well-known play, with the film starring Marlon Brando and Vivienne Leigh. Director Fred Pezzimenti will bring the heat and music of New Orleans alive in this production. He has a strong cast and an interesting set for such a classic play. Blanche DuBois arrives at the apartment of her sister Stella and her husband Stanley Kowalski. Blanche is a relic of the Old South, Stanley a Polish immigrant, powerful and confident. A Streetcar Named Desire is a reflection of old America and the thriving new America of the immigrants. There is constant conflict between reality and fantasy, actual and ideal. The clash between the two culminates in tragic ramifications for all.
Individual session times need to be checked as they vary in some cases from the stated 8pm.
