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.

Hi I saw this production of Cloudstreet on its opening night and would just like to say how much I loved it and was proud to be from Perth after seeing it. The acting was surperb and the backstage crew pulled everything off without a hitch. It's absolutely brilliant to see such talent emerging in Perth, well done to all involved.
