15 Minutes of Fame
Sun, 9 Mar 2003, 12:52 pmI've never done one of these before and I'm not really sure what to write, but this show has inspired me.
I went to see 15 Minutes of Fame at the Blue Room Last Night and i must say it was worth every minute. There were 8 monologues by eight different writers performed by eight different professional actors. (and a segway piece between each monologue)
Sounds like a long night right? Wrong. Even though each monologue is around fifteen minutes long you hardly even notice the time fly by and the subjects are hilarious, thought provoking and reminicent of actual events in the paper.
The acting alone was exceptional and the blue room has been transformed into a caberet setting which is a perfect surrounding for the subject matters.
Saying that there is always a few things that I thought could have been done differently but the transistions between monologues is fabulous and your not sure what you're going to get next.
Please go and check out 15 Minutes of Fame. Local Writers and actors at their best. and at just $18/$12 it's worth going to see how the other half live

WHOOPS ! Sorry, as I said...didn't see the first half, didn't get a programme, and I didn't have any knowledge of the character Tina was portraying.
I've obviously gotten the name mixed up from the conversation after the show....Tina's was based on a true story, and whoever that name was, that's the one I meant.
Thanks, alison, for the correction.
