Hayman Theatre Upstairs New Sunday Evening Season
Sat, 8 Mar 2008, 02:08 pmThe Hayman Theatre Upstairs' new Sunday evening theatre season has been launched.
The Sunday evening theatre program gives Curtin University performance
studies students the chance to hone their directing, acting and design
skills on short one-act plays.
Given that students are given free reign over their productions, the
Upstairs Theatre performances are often raw, fresh and exciting.
Below is a run-down of the dates for this season as well as a brief
director's note on the first two productions – "100" directed by Keir
Wilkins and "Brilliant" by Warwick Doddrell. These performances will
follow on from the success of The Hayman Theatre's recent production
of Shakespeare's "Richard III".
Hayman Upstairs Theatre Season, Semester One 2008:
Sunday March 16, April 13, May 4, May 11, May 18 and May 25.
Tickets sold at the door: $10 for two one-act plays.
First performance starts at 8pm.
The Hayman Theatre, Curtin University of Technology, Kent St Bentley.
"100" devised by The Imaginary Body and directed by Keir Wilkins:
If you had to pick one moment from your entire life to re-live for all
of eternity, how would you decide? This is the task placed upon five
strangers hailing from different parts of the world who wakeup in an
unfamiliar place to discover they have died. Devised by British
theatre company, The Imaginary Body, "100" is a story of discovering
the moments that matter and the things that define us. Directed by
third year Curtin University student Keir Wilkins and starring some of
Curtin's finest young actors, "100" takes its audience on a powerful
journey filled with rhythm, movement and images that will last a
lifetime.
March 16 @ 8pm (double bill with "Brilliant")
"Brilliant" written and directed by Warwick Doddrell:
When you are the scum of this earth you have everything to gain. In a
tangled web of manipulation, friendships and agendas, four characters;
Tasha a beauty-crazed student, Lucy a fantastical storyteller,
Dorothea a teacher with principals and Toulousse a talented doctor,
all fight to prove their place in the world. A devised physical
theatre work exploring the over-powering human desire to be brilliant.

Curtin’s Hayman Theatre
Curtin’s Hayman Theatre Company continues its Sunday Night Theatre series with two more one-act plays.
Starting the night off is Tony Nicholls’ PAWS.
This parody is the play that Harold Pinter always wanted to write but was never allowed to. A room. Two men. Through the window a naked woman slowly gets dressed.
Following is Rachel Breidahl’s THE CALAMIATIES AND MISFORTUNES OF HARRY THE CLOWN.
Harry is a former accountant who opts for a career change as a children’s party clown after a nervous breakdown leaves him feeling unfulfilled in life. But with an unhappy wife, a new friendship with an unusual character and more problems with balloon animals than he had ever imagined, will Harry be able to find happiness with his new life?
Sunday Night Theatre, 8pm Sunday 13th April
Come at 7pm for Nibblies!
Hayman Theatre Upstairs, Curtin University of Technology, Kent Street Bentley
All tickets $10 and available at the door.

The theatre arts course has now been decimated however by university beauracracy....the main Hayman Theatre stage is no longer in use for public shows (but the smaller Upstairs theatre is still alive !!).

THIS WEEK
Yes, the Hayman continues to thrive and the talent continues to grow!
If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself.
Curtin University's Hayman Theatre Company presents two more great one act plays in this week's Sunday Night Theatre.
Begin the night with a musical comedy that manages to be dreadfully dark yet smothered in pastel prettiness. Senior students Simone Ruggerio and Cassie Vagliviello present 'Mummy Loves You Betty Ann Jewel'. Watch as the layers of goodness peel back to expose the mad world of family relationships.
Starring Whitney Richards, Kate Hart, Nicole DiGregorio LaBianca, Karly Pisano, Kylie Baker & Cassie Vagliviello (with music by Alex Morris) this is a production full of fun, colour and song!
After a short interval / changeover, make your way back upstairs for Tennessee Williams' 'The Chalky White Substance'. This short play which Williams sets "100 years after a thermonuclear war," is directed by Alex Littlewood and stars Daniel Gillet and Ash MacDougall.
Sunday Night Theatre, 8pm Sunday 11th May
Hayman Theatre Upstairs, Curtin University of Technology
Kent St, Bentley
All tickets $10 and available at the door.
Next Week:
The Chalky White Substance
and
The Tech Show - "All In the Timing"
