SHORT AND SWEET, Sydney 2011 – HERE WE COME!
I have to say how excited I am to have 3 plays in Sydney’s SHORT AND SWEET festival this year. Last year I had 2, so it’s on the up and up.
The plays are HONEY, AMICABLE RIVALS and NORMALITY
HONEY – SHORT AND SWEET – NIDA PARADE PLAYHOUSE FEB 2011. February is going to be a busy month. Just the way I prefer it. Hope to see you at the festival :)
*AMICABLE RIVALS* – NEWTOWN THEATRE FEB 2011. Directed by William Russell. Cast: Sam Atwell, Brenda Bedewi.
*NORMALITY* – NIDA FEB 2011 (Winner of CTD finals, judges’ choice) Directed by William Russell. Cast: Clare Martin, Alastair Buchanan.
NORMALITY-CRASH TEST DRAMA November 2010
Normality was crash tested at Sydney’s Crash test drama @ Newtown Theatre in November 2010. Clare Martin (Liz) and Graham Yates (Richard) did a wonderful job as the husband and wife who are struggling to come to terms with something very serious in their life. Clare won BEST ACTRESS. My play won BEST PLAY as voted by the judges and William Russell (Director) won BEST DIRECTOR.
Well done to you all. I have to mention that GRAHAM YATES did a fantastic job as the ill Richard. Normality made it to the finals and WON!!
Graham wasn’t able to be in the finals and Alastair Buchanan took the role on as Richard. Alastair also did a wonderful job. Thank you, William, Clare, Graham and Alastair for doing such a wonderful job with such a complex and delicate script. You have all been a part of a wonderful journey and have helped in getting NORMALITY into the SHORT AND SWEET TOP 110 Sydney, February 2011 @ NIDA parade playhouse.
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..
The BEST of PLAYTIME @ Imagine Festival MELODY 9.10.10
MELODY was once again performed this time at the BEST OF PLAYTIME. Kate Buchanan played MELODY and Liane Norman directed. I heard a lot of great reviews about it and am very proud of both Kate and Liane. Thank you ladies!
HAPPY MEAL @ PLAYTIME 20th October 2010
It was another great night! My play ‘HAPPY MEAL’ was performed. Briliant
