AUDITION NOTICE

"NO TIME ON" - By Graeme Forsyth

Director: Carryn Maddocks

SYNOPSIS
Gilgerie is a country town which is dying after being bypassed by a new highway and losing its fertiliser factory. Even worse, the Gilgerie Roosters have not won a premiership for 27 years. It now needs to win "the flag" to restore some pride to a community on its knees.

The key to the grand plan is the signing, as Captain-Coach, of AFL legend Shark Bateman, a larger than life character, who brings with him as many problems as he solves.

No Time On is more about human frailties and life in general than it is about football. But those of us who have had anything to do with footy in bush clubs will recognise the characters presented in the play. You'll laugh and you'll cry as fiction becomes entwined with reality.

The play is very funny, but there is an underlying sadness, as the various insecurities of the characters are exposed. Time is running out for both Gilgerie and Shark. As Barbie, Shark's long suffering wife, exclaims: "You are kicking against the wind and there's no time on."

The play also mirrors the predicament of many country towns who boldly cling to their footy team as their only source of identity. No Time On is a superb play which has been staged in Melbourne and Geelong as well as in country centres.
