Disney meets Python in madcap fairytale for big kids
Sat, 13 Oct 2012, 08:20 amOnce upon a time Perth playwright Johnny Grim had an idea – to stage a madcap fairytale that adults would enjoy.
Presented by his company A lad in sane productions at the Midland Junction Arts Centre this October, Fairytale of Sorts is partly inspired by the films A Knight’s Tale and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
“Besides a love of writing comedy material, I was also inspired by watching the hilarious television show Horrible Histories with my son,” Grim said.
“In a time long ago, in days before TV, Facebook, and X-Box 360s, villagers gathered in the town square to listen to the fanciful tales of the storytellers.
“Fairytale of Sorts harks back to those medieval times, as we join the good folk of Partridgedale and meet with a host of lovable misfit characters.”
Grim, who is also directing and acting in the play, said audiences should expect nothing but pure fun.
“It may differ from many plays in that there’s no ‘take-home’ message,” he said. “It’s a play for those who adhere to the old saying laughter is the best medicine.”
Fairytale of Sorts plays at 8pm October 18, 19, 20, 25, 26 and 27 and 5pm October 21 and 28. All tickets are $15 – book on 0430 889 789 or email fairytaleofsorts@gmail.com.
The Midland Junction Arts Centre is at 276 Great Eastern Highway, Midland, near the corner of Cale Street.
