HELP! Alma De Groen, the woman in the window
Thu, 8 Nov 2001, 06:46 amDoes anybody know the play The Woman in the Window by Alma De Groen. I'm doing a piece from it for my WAAPA audtion next Thursday (I only got the pieces yesterday)
I don't live in a city, I'm only going to Melbourne the night before the audition, and I have no way of getting the play.
Could anyone at least tell me the plot of the play and the what the role of Lilli is?
I would be really REALLY grateful. Thankyou!

>> The play which is divided between the 1950s and 23rd century (hard to explain why, but it's very effective).
As I understand it, Chesty, the whole plot is based on an original episode of Star Trek, where, possessed by a malevolent alien entity (aren't they all?) Mr Chekov accidentally falls through a space/time warp generated by a rogue computer (surprise, surprise) and is buffeted helplessly backwards and forwards between the present day (23rd century) and the dim & dark past of one of his distant ancestors.
Through one of those quirky twists of fate (now there's something you don't see every day), Mr Chekov actually becomes his own Great, Great, Great, Great.... you get the point.... Grandfather. The only slight perterbation to the timeline is that Chekov's daily (unsavoury) dietary supplement (impressed upon him from a young age as a family tradition) is actually adopted by his own ancestors, ensuring that it is passed through the centuries, thus becoming a self-fulfilling timeloop. After initially looking grim, everything nicely works out within 45 minutes, to leave Kirk and McCoy standing around on the Bridge chortling, as Mr Spock raises a disparaging eyebrow, and the scene changes to that of the Enterprise fading into the stock starfield as the credits roll.
Lord, I've wasted my life....
