Mini Theatre Review - SUNDAY at the MTC is one helluva play with a stunning performance from Nikki Shiels as Sunday Reed. I doubt if I will see a better acting performance this year in Melbourne. Actually every one is terrific including Matt Day as John Reed and Josh Mcconville as Sidney Nolan. The show is 3 hours long but acting and writing is so strong that I didn’t notice the time. The play is said to be in the style of something like David Hare’s Plenty. But it felt, particularly in the second act, like an Aussie version of O’Neil’s Long Day’s Journey into Night. Only with a handful of performers, five performers. If you have an interest in Australian art (Nolan’s iconic Ned Kelly series) and great acting (I mean GREAT acting, thanks Nikki) and Theatre like it suppose to be… Challenging and at times unsettling but in the end rewarding! Then this is a must-see show set in Heide about an unconventional threesome. A brilliant production for the first show of the year from the Melbourne Theatre Company. @melbtheatreco #melbournetheatre #melbournetheatrescene #theatre #theatrelife #davidhare #plenty #longdaysjourneyintonight #nikkishiels #mattday #joshmcconville (at Sumner Theatre Southbank) https://www.instagram.com/p/CniBDBrSK4E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The Other Place, COMING SOON

The Other Place is a show about two remarkable, tenacious women who braved the world of theatre in Australia. It is a work that demonstrates that even in the face of adversity, the bonds of women will shine through. The play highlights the historical power imbalances that women face in the industry, and how these are still perpetuated today.

Drawing on historical events, fiction and non-fiction, the dialogue of the play melts together to create a magical realism that showcases the brilliance of women in theatre.

“It’s a play about history, but not as you’d expect it. It’s about imbalances in theatre and in the world, but it’s also about a time when theatre was so affecting, and people were so passionate, that they would literally riot in the streets because of it”

– Christopher Bryant, playwright of The Other Place

While the work draws on reality, the play centres around the imagined meeting of two great minds. The work follows Betty Burstall and her efforts which would result in Melbourne’s iconic La Mama Theatre, and Buzz Goodbody, the trailblazing founder of the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Queer writer Christopher Bryant wanted to pay homage to the women in his life who have supported him through this work. In their own words, “as humans, I believe nobody is free while some of us experience disadvantage.”

The Other Place will bring together an ensemble of female identifying creatives to bring the lived existence of women in theatre to the stage.

I've known @gorgicoghlan since she was about 19 at university...tonight I got to hear her sing at @chapeloffchapel after winning @themaskedsingerau . Gorgi had two careers she could have chosen, music or TV and she chose TV, so it's wonderful to see this beautiful gift she has to sing given some light. Thanks Gorgi for a beautiful evening and we loved Molly -Rose too! Congratulations 🙌🏽❤️🎉👏🏽🌈😘💃🏼 #gorgicoghlan #themaskedsingerau #friends #chapeloffchapel #melbournetheatre (at Chapel Off Chapel) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5-MGvZJpSt/?igshid=6xoauh2il2er

Last night @annathespanner and I saw more Shakespeare (As You Like It). This Shakespeare dude was pretty funny. (Also they said it was fine to take photos during the performance - I'm not that kind of person to do it sneakily) #shakespeare #asyoulikeit #popupglobe #melbourneadventures #williamshakespeare #theatre #melbournetheatre (at Pop-up Globe)

★★★★½ – “A deeply affecting and sensitively realised account.” (Limelight Magazine) ★★★★½ – “Compelling theatre that touches the hearts of us all.” (Planet Arts) ★★★★ – “A disconcertingly powerful work.” (The Age) ★★★★ – “Finely polished, extremely accomplished and deeply moving.” (Arts Hub) Some stories are more powerful than others. He’s worried his isn’t powerful enough. A young man sits alone on stage. He looks like us. He sounds like us. Yet he asks us to join him on an unimaginably alien journey into his recent past. "I had arrived. It was so bitterly cold that I thought I'd never be warm again. They ask me why I left my country - for dates, times, reasons... but it's buried. They say I’m telling lies but that's not what I am doing." Told from the perspective of one who got away, his is a moving and extraordinary story of love, loss and exile; a journey through a no-man's-land of empty train stations, border crossings and bomb-blasted towns. And… it is all true. Both an intimate character study and an edge-of-your-seat thriller, Elegy fuses precision performance, an affecting soundscape and visual poetry to lure us into a playful, theatrical, humorous and personal world. Elegy features a brand new, powerhouse performance by Gareth Reeves (Underbelly, War Horse, Melbourne Theatre Company) directed by John Kachoyan (Bell Shakespeare, Red Stitch Actors Theatre). It is written by Douglas Rintoul, based on interviews with LGBT refugees across the world, and inspired by the work of award-winning international photojournalist Bradley Secker. Winner: 2011 Edinburgh Fringe First Award Winner: 2012 Royal National Theatre Foundation Playwright Award Nominated: Two 2012 Off West End Awards

Got my ticket to @theprodco production of @gentlemansguidebroadway!! Front Row Center baby! This was easily one of the best shows I have seen in the last 10 years.

Looking forward to seeing @mitchellbutel and co put their spin on this fantastic show under the Direction of Roger Hodgman, Musical Direction of Kelly Dickerson and Choreography of Dana Jolly.
