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 Dan, the new show is going along nicely, with just over a week of performances down, we have another week to go. So come along if you would like to see it! It is a relatively different show now and its worth it! We are situated at Channel nine this time around because the second run was not planned from the word go, and by the time that the response from the first run was so positive and it was decided to do a second run the rechabites was already booked. So we are trying somewhere new and different. Its an interesting space to work in, and adds a very different atmosphere to the show!
