Elizabeth - Opening Tonight!!!
Wed, 7 Mar 2001, 01:05 pmDarlington Theatre Players and Marloo Theatre are starting their 2001 season with their new production of 'Elizabeth: Almost by Chance a Woman', by ItalyÂ’s leading playwright and winner of the 1997 Nobel Prize for Literature, Dario Fo.
Elizabeth, which will be performed in English, is set in the bedroom of Queen Elizabeth I. Driven to the point of madness by her guilt over the beheading of her cousin, Mary Stuart, Elizabeth sees conspiracies and plotters all around her, except where they actually exist. She seeks solace in the companionship of her maid, Martha, and the home remedies of a grotesque quack, Dame Grosslady, as well as in the arms of a string of young lovers.
This hilariously slapstick and bawdy comedy is being directed by award-winning director Paul Treasure, whose previous productions include Lady WindermereÂ’s Fan (Best Production 2000 - Marloo Theatre) and Riders to the Sea (Best Overall Production - 1999 Independent Theatre Association Dramafest).
The small but talented cast include Tracee Sliskovic as Elizabeth, Desiree Schrock as Martha, Peter Carr as Dame Grosslady, Fiona Forster and John Hall, as well as Troy Hall, who was last year named Best Actor at Marloo and Most Promising Young Talent at the Independent Theatre AssociationÂ’s Dramafest.
The Production opens at 8:00 PM on Wednesday 7th March 2001 and runs for three weeks on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday Nights. Tickets cost $12.00 for adults and $10.00 for concessions and can be booked from Gwyne on 9255 1783. It is suggested that this play is suitable for Mature Audiences only.

Jarrod,
I heard that camera's were allowed in the auditorium during Act II. Although that was just a rumour....
If your camera is confiscated during the perfomance, give me a hoi...I have much merchandise from this show which may interest you.
Paul, I repeat - thank you. The money is rolling in fast.
Troy 'I-have-too-many-awards-for-my-ego' Hall's envious sister,
Kyla.
PS : Was that necessary or even appropriate? Didn't think so.

RE: Elizabeth - Opening Tonight!!!
Unlike some other shows running in Perth recently...
We do not have nudity on the poster
We just have it on the stage!
The Mature Audiences Only disclaimer is because of:
1. Frequent Coarse Language
2. Nudity
3. Left Wing Politics

Well, first of all, let's check Marloo's marvellous track record with using this site in their publicity...
I only just happened to check the site, panicked and put something in this forum.
Anyway, I can remember back some time ago, I did ask for a password for Marloo, but I never did get a response :-)
Catch ya round

Any photos taken during Act II of 'Elizabeth: Almost by Chance a Woman' will be confiscated by the director on the grounds of breach of copyright, processed, added to the director's private collection and the negatives passed on to Kyla Hall :-)
Anyone wanting prints will have to apply to Kyla Hall Enterprises.
Kyla, so what was my cut on your profit again?!
