MELODY – Playtime at World Bar, Sydney March 2010
Director Liane Norman, Actress Kate Buchanan and Me
MELODY was performed in Sydney in March 2010. The story of an elderly woman, who is terminally ill and has not family or friends left. It was very touching and was enjoyed by the audience. PLAYTIME is a monthly event and will have quite a few of my plays on show. Thank you to Kate Buchanan who played Melody and to Liane Norman for directing.
