Darkest comedy of all time comes to Playlovers!

Wed, 17 Mar 2010 20:20:52 +0800

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”.

Erotic Fundraiser

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:51:10 +0800

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.

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.

The Mikado

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 17:59:59 +0800

Last night I had the dubious priviledge of attending the WA Opera's performance of "The Mikado" for the City of Perth's Opera in the Park. If this hadn't been a free concert I would probably have been seeking a refund as for a semi professional outfit the performance was poor to say the least.
