FANCY A QUICKIE 2? Hits Griffith in September 2011!
Eight of my best plays, a mix of talented actors and theatre professionals, add to that, local actors performing at Griffith Regional Theatre and you have a recipe for success. Just like ‘Fancy a Quickie’ – only this time, it’ll be bigger and better. With the likes of Gerry Sont, Clare Martin, Tanya Ann Powell and William Russell and local cast of 20 actors, it’s going to be a show not to be missed.
The Griffith Community has been so supportive and keep checking back here to see who the sponsors are! Without sponsors, cast and crew, FAQ2 would not be possible.
The plays: NORMALITY, AMICABLE RIVALS, CATASTROPHE, SILENCE, HONEY, ONLINE OFFSIDE, HAPPILY EVER AFTER AND HUMAN NATURE.
Where have these plays been performed before?.. Sydney, Melbourne, UK just to mention a few. Keep coming back to check. More will follow.

CATASTROPHE – Play with your food! From Aug 20th 2010 to Sept 17th 2010
Jules strikes again! What is is about a cat that makes its owner love it more than his wife? Jules is ill, he needs a new liver. Greg (hubby) wants his wife to find a suitable cat, capture it and bring it home so he can get his butcher down the road to transplant the liver into Jules. All this for only $10.000. Greg’s wife is understandably angry and hurt. Gerry Sont and Deborah Bradshaw were amazing as the husband and wife team and the play got a lot of laughs. Poor Jules..

ONLINE OFFSIDE – Playtime 4 June 2010
Alastair Buchanan, Heidi Lupprian, Valentino Arico, Celia Kelly and Aaron Nilan
Another Playtime Production, ONLINE OFFSIDE, premiered at the World Bar in Sydney in June 2010. Nic and his ex wife Cynthia compete yet again. Nic wants his ex to think he’s ‘moved on’ with his life and is now seeing the very sexy yet very quite Giorgia. His life couldn’t be better. Cynthia only wants to brag about her new man Alex. In this play, nothing is what it appears to be. Alex and Gioria have more in common than anyone realises. The play was directed by Nir Shelter and featured: Valentino Arico, Celia Kelly, Heidi Lupprian, Aaron Nilan and Alastair Buchanan.
