Hi Everyone
I was fortunate enough to see this production at the Rechabites and then have it in production at my school. My year 10,11 and 12 students saw it and thought it was excellent.
When you can have students still talking about the show for weeks afterwards and have them talking about how to adapt parts of the show into their performances pieces , then you know that the show has made an impact on them.
Congratulations Craig , it is a great show and deserves to be seen by as many people as possible.

Re: The Stones - performing in schools Feb/March
Wasn't 'The Stones' originally performed (and written!!) by Zeal Theatre, based in Melbourne, and world reknown for this play?
I personally have seen all of Zeal's shows, and am lucky enough to have teched for them, so while I understand that praise must go to all who act it (unless, obviously, if they're bad at it), shouldn't we be praising the talents of Zeal Theatre first?

Hi Naomi
Yes, there was never intended to be any dismissal of Stefo Nantsou and Tom Lycos (Zeal Theatre) who wrote and originally performed this excellent play which has won worldwide acclaim. The only reason they were omitted from the above post is that my intention was simply to encourage bookings for our season in Perth. Zeal Theatre is not known in Perth, whereas both Sam and I are well recognised here. We're very proud of our achievements in this production, but we certainly don't claim full responsibility.
Stefo and Tom actually jointly directed this Larrikin Theatre/Barking Gecko production, and they have fully endorsed our WA season.
Cheers,
Craig

Re: The Stones - performing in schools Feb/March
I watched "the stones" a couple of months ago and I was wondering how could I get hold of the script.

Rights to the script are through Zeal Theatre, Melbourne. Inquire with Stefo Nantsou at zealtheatre@hotmail.com
