Cheapies.

I was recently in Melbourne & decided to go to the theatre with my Sister in law.There were 2 or 3 shows which were of interest and it was difficult to decide.Then Janet (my SIL)suggested that since I was residing at a city Hotel I may wish to go to half tics(I think that's what it was called)& see what they had.This place was just a small booth set up in the Bourke St Mall and there they sell half price tickets to any show,from participating Theatres (if available) to THAT EVENINGS PERFORMANCE.

They had reviews of the shows,& the ticket seller had personally seen most of the shows on sale and therefore gave his own reactions to various shows.And I thought "What a great idea"

I wonder if there would be any interest in a similar initiave in Perth!

I don't know what the business structure was but I imagine it would be based on a % of sales or similar.

WHATDEYARECKON Folks?

Featured event
The Theatre on Chester (Sydney) presents
The Servant of Two Masters


Written by Carlos Goldini. Re-Written by Nick Enright and Ron Blair.

Carla Moore

Goldoni is made grouse in this colourful and riotous comic masterpiece. Truffaldino doesn’t really think through the problems inherent in having two bosses – especially when they’re unaware of each other’s presence and desperate to get back into each other’s pants. Our hero reckons he’s found a way of increasing his coin and food income on his labour. Or, as he puts it: “two masters, two wages, two dinners – too right!”
