WAYTCO's The Golden Age
Sun, 3 Mar 2002, 12:10 pm...how to justify this under bulletins...OK
EXTRA! EXTRA! Tickets selling fast for WA Youth Theatre Company's Production of 'The Golden Age'!
Under the superb direction of the incomparable Jenny Davis (whose other work includes 'The Vagina Monolgues' and upcoming 'V Day' with Perth Theatre Company) the WA Youth Theatre Company in association with Healthways presents Louis Nowra's masterpiece, 'The Golden Age'.
A tribe of lost Europeans, inbred, some retarded, and all with their own fascinating and beautiful language, is found by two young men in the wilds of Tasmania and brought back to civilisation. But it is 1939, and, afraid of the Nazi war machine, the Australian government inters these 'children of our past' into a mental asylum until the war is over. All but one die of illness or suicide, and this powerful and compelling play examines the ethics and issues of culture, removal, displacement and our past. The haunting cry of the tribe echoes through the play: "Nowt more outcastin'!"
This astonishing play is presented by a committed and talented young cast aged 14-23, with some of Perth's most intriguing and gifted young actors. This is a play and a production not to be missed!
'The Golden Age' runs at the Playhouse, Pier Street Perth for only four performances: March 20, 21, 22, and 23. Bookings through BOCS (08)9484 1133. Discounts available for school groups.
