Cloudstreet is a very well known story, the ‘Under Milkwood’ of WA, so it was bound to be a big challenge for the director and cast to do it justice. I know some of your members don’t like reviews when the show has closed, but it seems a shame that such a brilliant play has been given no feedback on your site.

 

I won’t go into detail, but the whole cast worked together well, thanks to excellent directing by Jenny Davis; they kept the flow and interest up for the whole three hours. All the emotions were covered well.

 

The lighting was clever and effective, the costumes brought back memories of the era and the set, although simple was all that was required.

 

Congratulations must go to Claudio Girardi for his portrayal of Fish.

 

Please see Green Room section on Theatre.asn about the venue.

Tix..

As far as i know it has been sold out since before publicity even hit the streets, however there have been a small number of tickets held for general public for each performance that can be acquired at the door on the night of performance. This is a wonderful show and there are some outstanding performances not only from the leads but many of the smaller roles. A huge and very talented cast are involved. Definately some fine young actors to watch out for in the future. OMR ;-)
