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.

Well done Hannah Sutton

To Hannah In Cloudstreet your performance of dolly realy stood out. I was amazed at how engaging and suddenly serious the scene where you tell Rose about your childhood was. That one line "there we were" literally is imprinted on my mind. Very powerful stuff, hope you succeed as an actor (beyond that HBF ad). From Tim (you don't know me, I'm just an audience member in awe but I think you met one of my best friends Harry Winton) PS if anyone who knows Hannah, or know she's not a member here, please tell her, thanks
