Two short plays at the Hayman Theate, Curtin for the rest of this week.

fairytaleheart - is a simple love story. Two shy youngsters meet in an old community hall and discuss their lives and problems. Dean Israelite and Annalise Mack perform very well under the excellent direction of Tegan Mulvany.

The second play, by Barry Dickens, is the most tasteless day in the life of two old crones of sisters. The couple are off the planet, loath each other - but do they really? - language is foul, but the script is hilarious. Even the local prude would have to laugh.

If you enjoy Luke Milton productions then this is a show for you. Tony Nicholls breaks away from his normal panto productions to give you this tremendous show. The couple, Jillian Gilbertson (superb in her first major role) is at war with her younger nastier sister, beautifully played by Simone Hurse.

Two completely different shows, well worth a trip to the southern suberbs.
