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.

Lol and my friends and I are seeing it on the 12th! So any reviews from me wont be too helpful none the less if anyone is interested I will post one. They contribute to my Review's assessment so it will be written anyway. ~ Tari The Writer is a child forever listening at the keyhole of the adult world.
