Last Month’s (April) Feature
A small number of the DayPlay Group performed two short plays from the longer collection, Hat Tricks by Dorrie Appell. These off-beat pieces presented some challenges, as the delivery style was unusual, and as the title suggested, the theme in each case involved hats. The three actors, Desley Nichols, Pat Wockner and Sandra Hogan, gave us much enjoyment in a short time. Leo Wockner directed.
May Features
“Catherine Parr – or Alexander’s Horse” by Maurice Baring is an unusual and not-quite-serious look behind the castle doors into the domestic arrangements of the King of England, Henry VIII, the one renowned for disposing of his wives. Catherine Parr, however, is the number 6 wife, the one who kept her head and outlived him.
Actors are Paul Liddy and Glynne Liddy and Rod Thompson, with directorial comment from Maria Plumb.
Also for your entertainment, Rod Thompson has prepared a “yarn” entitled Now I’m not Superstitious, but…..: the Maiden Voyage of the Clipper Blackadder.
VALE Errol O’Neill
It is with sadness that we mark the passing of Errol O’Neill, local actor and playwright. The Players had a very successful season of his play “Faces in the Street” (about the 1912 Brisbane tram strike) in 2000. We offer our condolences to his wife Mary and sons Joe and Kieran, and his brother Dan.
From Our President
Hello Everyone,
It’s May already! Seems only it as a short time ago I was writing April’s report! Hope everyone is enjoying this “extended” summer.
Congratulations to Bruce Stanley who is now Vice President/Publicity and we also welcome Robert Garnham to the Management committee. Bruce is a long-term member and brings a wealth of experience as having performed the role a number of times in the past. Most of you know Robert from his stage performances in Summer Wonderland and Diary of a Scoundrel, most recently as Rick in Let the Sunshine. Congratulations Robert!
Some of you may have seen on our website, that we have had to change the dates for Seven Little Australians. This is due to building works occurring throughout June, a new roof to be precise. Seven Little Australians will now open Friday 15th July at 7.30pm and plays across four weekends, with a final performance on Sunday 7th August. Please note the new earlier start time for evening performances. Rehearsals will commence on Sunday 15th May at 2.00pm.
This has not impacted Play 3, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, which will still open Friday 26th August at 7.30pm. Having the two shows so close together, we will be needing extra assistance in Box Office and Front of House, so please let me know what night you can help out.
Cheers,
Liz
Five Women Wearing the Same Dress
Five Women Wearing the Same Dress
by Alan Ball
directed by Jacqueline Kerr & Elizabeth Morris
Some things in life are gifts.
You can accept them. You are allowed.
It’s Knoxville, Tennessee, and the wedding reception of Tracey Marlowe, the biggest event of the year! Too big for some. Her five bridesmaids escape to an upstairs bedroom, where they get to know each other, sharing tantrums, tears, love and laughter.
Meet Meredith, the rebellious younger sister, Frances, the very Christian cousin, Mindy, the groom’s lesbian sister, and Trish and Georgeanne, the bride’s childhood friends. Each has their own stories and issues, but united by a common enemy – the dress they have been forced to wear – they come together for some hilarious comedy that will keep y’all entertained to the end.
