‘Dating death - Romancing in a Disposable World’, this 85-minute, non-stop show was written and performed by Zalia Joi, for ‘renaissance2: A Performance Company’. The performances are at the Astor Theatre, Corner Beaufort and Walcott Streets, Mount Lawley at 8.30 pm until the 17^th June.

          We are in the environs of the Bones Inn, and a ghostly character with a deep haunting voice tells us the strange legend of how the hotel got its name. The tale is interspersed with short, but highly entertaining, introductions to the characters of the area, who have very varied and complicated love lives.

My review of this show when performed at Downstairs at His Maj in October 2009 was:-

In July ‘Dating in a Disposable World’ will be performed at the Toronto Fringe Festival. These special fundraising shows see all the funds going directly to aiding the production’s tour.

Director Scott Robertson, along with choreographer and movement consultant Claire Crosby, has honed this show even further. Joe Lui’s sound and lighting design is well up to its ever high standard.

Just as amazing and fresh as the first time I saw this solo masterpiece, which was one of 2009’s best. Another full house, but try and catch this show.
