Hole In The Wall
Mon, 16 Nov 2009, 10:24 pmI was having a conversation at work today about the Hole In The Wall, and it's location. From 1984 it was housed in the Subiaco Theatre Centre. Is this the current Subi Arts Centre?
What became of the company?
Where was it before '84?
I have a vague memory of a high school trip to the city (I lived in Karratha) in '81 or '82, and seeing a show(Shirley Valentine, or maybe Educating Rita) at The Hole in the Wall, but I remember it being in Rockeby Rd, or somewhere similar surrounded by shopfronts.
It could be the hazy high school memories of nearly 30 years ago - can it be that long ago????
I know many of you will know the answers.

I remember the controversy over Ray...he'd been around at the Hole for so long there was concern about his ability to continue producing fresh work. I thought that was part of the situation that caused no confidence in the companies and induced the merger.
I did one show at the State Theatre Co when it had just changed names in 1991, and that was directed by Aarne. Hence my assumption he was AD.
I then remember the 91/92 seasons as being very busy and productive...for the dozen or so actors who were fortunate enough to be in the ensemble!
And Peter Foss's review...didn't that get strung out for a decade!
Cheers,
Craig
