ParnassusÂ’ Den presents a reading of JuliaÂ’s Daughter, a play by Jennifer Compton.
About the play: Julia Hardy wasn’t born to die – but she does. And her work, her poetry, casts a very long shadow. Her daughter, Jaydee, struggles towards the light and travels back into the past. Back to the night when Julia chose to live and Jaydee saved her life. It is better to fade away than to burn out. Her ex-husband, David, annotates. All he has is an ‘eye’ and he knows ‘it’ when he sees it. Julia had ‘it’ but does Jaydee? Directed by Andrew Davidson.
About PD: Over the past decade, PD has positioned itself at the frontier of new Australian writing for performance, encouraging the development of new Australian scripts for film, theatre, TV and radio. Over 500 readings later PD, has grown to become the ‘First Word Of Mouth’, where new Australian writing for performance is discovered.
How it works: PD selects readers from an ensemble of approximately 80 professional actors. The author attends the reading. Following the reading, the audience comments on the script – what works, what doesn’t – giving the writer invaluable feedback to help develop their work. Many scripts have since been produced on stage, screen and airwaves locally, nationally and internationally.
If you are an aspiring playwright, PD gives you the chance to take your script to the next level. If you are a producer, director, actor or dramaturge, this is a great opportunity to get involved in some of the latest works emerging in Australia film, theatre, television and radio.
Entry to all PD readings costs $8 or $5 for members. Membership costs $20 per annum. Tickets can be purchased at the door. All readings start at 7:30pm sharp. For more information check out www.parnassusden.org.au
