5TH WALL / … theatre arts writing and you. Between ideas and understanding. NOT THE AUSTRALIAN THEATRE FORUM #ATF2015. 20/01/2015 at 9:53 pm.

PROBLEM CHILD | 5TH WALL / ... theatre arts writing & you

https://5thwall.wordpress.com/2014/08/26/problem-child

5TH WALL / … theatre arts writing and you. Between ideas and understanding. 26/08/2014 at 2:05 pm. Presented by the New Theatre, August 2014. There’s a lot going on in Hilary Bell’s deceptively simple Bedtime Mystery, not least of which the gripping plotline, but more importantly the questions the play brings to the fore about human behaviour. None of these are answered satisfactorily (if that’s your thing), or if an answer is attempted, it raises further problems. We as a nation are in the process of re...

5TH WALL / … theatre arts writing and you. Between ideas and understanding. A BETTER ARTIST THAN YOU. 16/05/2014 at 4:07 pm. SCENES FROM AN EXECUTION, May 2014. Lucy Miller (the artist) as Galactia (the artist) photo Katy Green Loughrey. To say this is a good play or it is well done is not enough. To say I could have been better is just shallow (disclaimer: one should announce when one auditioned for the play at hand, but was refused! Does not reduce its value. If anything, the opposite, it inspires disc...

A fine ensemble cast assemble for this modern naturalistic take on women’s issues (Feminism? The humour can be disconcerting are we laughing at them or with them? Are we laughing at ourselves?

As the beleaguered Bob Menzies (he’s *very good* in this show) explains in the opening salvo of the production this may not be the play you turned up expecting to see. The Parry Estate refused permission to perform the originally scheduled production as advertised. 8211; but fear not, because the minds at Belvoir have crafted a forensic. Which goe...

Presented by The New Theatre, June 2014. The play is beyond parody, veering between darker and darker shades of reality in all the colours of the nightmarish rainbow. Blood Red. Jaundice Yellow.
