Deckchairs  

Harbour Theatre’s first production for 2010 in their new premises is Deckchairs. Written by a woman, to be performed by women, “Deckchairs” is full of life and vitality that will appeal to everyone. Set by the seaside these four plays take a humourous, poignant and often compassionate look, at the many facets of modern life and relationships. The well defined, interesting characters are colourful, animated but above all truthful.

Follow the adventures of Marion and Deborah as they discuss their unusual sisterhood, Pascaline and Maggie as they compete in a theatrical battle of wits, Miss Westlake and Julia as they discuss their shared past and finally, Beryl and Doris on their absolutely hilarious work’s outing.

Tickets are $21.50 full, $19.50 concession or $16.50 full time students and are available through BOCS 9484 1133 . Please see the Events tab for performance dates or visit the TAZ Entertainment website for more information.

The Pillowman  

Playlovers are proud to present the darkest comedy of all time, award winning ‘The Pillowman’ by Martin McDonagh. Directed by the well known theatre talent Matt Longman. With echoes of Stoppard, Kafka, and the Brothers Grimm, The Pillowman centres on a writer in an unnamed totalitarian state who is being interrogated about the gruesome content of his short stories and their similarities to a series of child murders. The result is an urgent work of theatrical bravura-an unflinching examination of the very nature and purpose of art that is sure to “be staged for generations to come."

This multi award-winning play is challenging with a surprising blend of pathos and high comedy. Tickets are $17 full, or $15 concession and are available through BOCS 9484 1133 . Please see the Events tab for performance dates or visit the TAZ Entertainment website for more information.

Second Samuel  

David Young Productions is proud to present the southern American comedy Second Samuel, written by Pulitzer Prize nominee, Pamela Parker. The international premiere season, directed by Susan Hayward, will open at the Subiaco Arts Centre on April 29.

Set in the late 1940s, the people in the sleepy rural town of Second Samuel are preparing for the funeral of one of their most beloved citizens. But their serenity is suddenly shattered when dark secrets are revealed, making townfolk in for a summer no one will ever forget. This touching Southern comedy is about family, diversity and strength with a unique blend of charm, wit and humour. Second Samuel is a journey of discovery and the message comes home that it is okay to be different.

Tickets are $35 full or $30 concession and are available through BOCS 9484 1133 . Please see the Events tab for performance dates or visit the TAZ Entertainment website for more information.
