This production is a fine example of ensemble and characterisation. I went on Thursday night and was very impressed with the quality of the whole production. The performances are balanced and brilliantly directed by Jenny Davis, and the set design is simple and effective.

Tonight is the last night! Don't miss this Australian drama (inc. wonderful comic moments).

What the critics said:

“Class Act Theatre, under the direction of Jenny Davis, has assembled a fiercely strong cast to perform the audience favourite, Hotel Sorrento”
“this production oozes talent, and a realistic approach” – Allison Browning, Indie Perth

“Compelling drama that will prompt thought and discussion about our own places in families and Australia’s position in the world.” – Naomi Millett, The West Australian.

“A very strong production performed by a very capable cast.” Larry O’Dea, Theatre Australia Website

“Hotel Sorrento is a fabulous play to meet with for the first time or to fondly rediscover. And Class Act, with their growing reputation of producing solid work in this city, do nothing to spoil that. Shirley Van Sanden, Alinta Carroll and Angelique Malcolm, as the Moynihan sisters, are superbly cast, and having seen all three actresses in various other productions, was knocked out by the maturity with which they dealt with their parts.” Michael McCall, Theatre Australia website.

Hotel Sorrento stars Jay Walsh (On Our Selection), Francesca Waters (Bed), Gerald Hitchcock (A Swell Party), Shirley Van Sanden (Romeo and Juliet), Angelique Malcolm (Othello), Alinta Carroll (Beauty and the Beast), Benj DÂ’Addario (Bell Shakespeare Co.), and Nicholas McRobbie (Conundrum).

Venue: The Rechabites Hall, 224 William St, Northbridge
