I could take out my gun and shoot you
Mon, 31 Jan 2005, 02:25 pmWhat a fabulous combination of comedy, tragedy and drama.
I went and saw 'I could take out my gun and shoot you' yesterday afternoon at the Sun Room in Maylands and despite being very hot in the theatre, acting performances were not compromised.
Tackling an issue that is not always popular in our society, homosexuality, the play delivers its story and message with conviction and meaning.
An excellent cast all-around but some performances to mention were Kirk Goodsell who brought warmth, feeling and complete believabilty to his character, whilst Dale Barnard contrasted a nice performance oppisite with strengths in vocal projection and stage presence. Kirk's scene on the phone must be made note bringing complete silence to the theatre and every audience drawn in to the scene.
James Harley Roberton can not be without a mention who completed the wonderful trio with such energy, enthusiam and humour to his character and the play.
Melanie Gault and Hannah Walters played beautiful supporting actresses as a lesbian couple and all five 'gays' delivered the play.
Tweed Harris, writer, director and actor never faulted and provided such powerful stage presence and feeling.
Barbara Calligan, Hayley Stevenson, Luke Taafe and Brian Heath completed this top-notch cast.
I must say there were a few tissues being used by the audience and not one member left the theatre untouched and not emotionally moved.
A recommended must see play that only has one week left of showing. Go and find the 'queen' in yourself.

Re: I could take out my gun and shoot you
Thank you for your kind review. Yous hould work for the Sunday Times, who said, " The subject matter did not interest their readers". They obviously have not read their own personal ads columns. Anyway, thanks again for your comments and I have to heartily endorse the fact that the three lead males are superb in their performances.
