“The Bald Prima Donna”
Absurdist Comedy by Eugène Ionesco
Directed by Jean-Marie Pasquier

The Smiths are looking forward to their dinner party with the Martins. Except for a few problems: a mad maid, a freaky fireman and a cuckoo clock that never tells the time right.

Originally a French play, itÂ’s as absurd as they come. Think Noel Coward crossed with David Lynch with a sprinkle of Fawlty Towers.

Characters:
All characters are between the age of 25 and 65. All accents and races are allowed. The characters have to be eccentric, weird, crazy, off the wall, burlesque, wild in their action and costumes but very disciplined on the lines.

The roles are:-
Mr & Mrs Smith
Mr & Mrs Martin
Mary the Maid
Captain of the Fire Brigade.

For further information contact Jean-Marie 9274 0082.

“The Leather Jacket”
A drama by Ken Smith
Directed by Melanie DeCull

A dramatic play set in a typical Perth suburban family home in the 60s. The play deals with the generation gap, and youth and its rebellion against rules and standards.

Whilst the goal posts have gradually moved over the decades and todayÂ’s society are far more tolerant, the play is still essentially topical in its content.

Characters:
Rose: daughter 18 Rebellious, Tall
Kathie: daughter 24, nice, responsible
Margaret: 40-45, Mother, Pleasant
Alfred Johnson: 40-45, Father, Sturdily Built, Intolerant.
Bill Shepherd: 35-40 slim, easy going
Betty Shepherd: 35-40, sense of humour
