Shameless Self Promotion

SHAMELESS SELF PROMOTION --- YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

In less than a week I take on perhaps the most challenging role of my theatrical life to date. More so than directing children in a period comedy. More so than trying to control three of the most over excitable young ladies in the world of Perth Community Theatre (you know who you are). More so than tackling Andy Fraser's whirl-wind sword choreography in Romeo and Juliet. More than repeated attacks from Internet Trolls!!!

Zastrozzi, Master Criminal and the Bringer of Destruction is about to hit town in Melville's first season for 2011. Dark and brooding, Zastrozzi is obsessed with revenge. Pursuing the delusional and comic Verezzi, he has wasted three years of his life and now things are about to come to a head. The final battle is about to begin. Swords are being drawn and damsels are being raped. Well, not actually raped, seduced really, but the intention is there.

I play a small role, that of Zastrozzi! Me, the definition of the Foppish Character Actor, playing a dark and brooding man of evil?!?!?! This could end badly.

Come and see for yourself. Be your own judge. Is this guy really all that or is he really just the big fop he thinks he is. Only one way to find out. Click the link below.

ZASTROZZI SEASON DATES AND TICKET DETAILS

Hell hath no greater equal than Zastrozzi!
Pity neither have met me yet... %)

*giggles* I think I know

*giggles* I think I know who the three young ladies are. Sisters for the win! For those who know Jeff, this is truly a very different role for him. And the evil director has been rather ruthless with stamping out the fop.

Hang on.....

...Jeff Hansen said he was the star?
jeffhansenFri, 25 Feb 2011, 07:28 am

Don't listen to this

Don't listen to this megalomaniacal drivel Muzz. We all know who the real star is. :P www.meltheco.org.au

Small Parts

Muzz Boy, I did say is was a small role I played, and that it was a Shameless SELF promotion, or did you miss that bit? ;-)

Zastrozzi? Who wrote

Zastrozzi? Who wrote that? Never heard of the play? Never of the playwright either..
jeffhansenFri, 25 Feb 2011, 02:11 pm

Oooo look. Someone

Oooo look. Someone pretending to be me. I'm flattered. Wouldn't the theatre be a boring old place if the same shows were done over and over? Zastrozzi - inspired by a Percy Shelley novel of the same name. I will assume we have all heard of him. Written by George F. Walker. Nope. I hadn't heard of him either. It was last seen in Perth a few years back as a PIAF presentation by Black Swan. I guess they thought it was worthy of a showing. How about "Thanks Melville for putting on something I haven't already seen five times"??? If not, I'm directing Don's Party in July... www.meltheco.org.au
Robert J WhyteFri, 25 Feb 2011, 02:52 pm

I've never heard of Don's

I've never heard of Don's Party I haven't heard of anyone in your cast either Jeff....oops you haven't cast it yet have you! Robert "tongue firmly planted in cheek" Whyte

booked my 5 tix for the Sunday matinee - no slacking off for the daytime show, now... ;-)

They won't... if they want

They won't... if they want to live. :)
jmuzzFri, 25 Feb 2011, 06:27 pm

I hear Zastrozzi....

...is the world's greatest matinee performer!
LabrugFri, 25 Feb 2011, 07:05 pm

I heard a vague rumour too. Have no idea what they are talking about.
