Andrea Gibbs is Starkers
Mon, 16 July 2007, 11:16 am‘Andrea Gibbs is Starkers’ is the name of the trilogy being performed at the Blue Room, Northbridge at 8 pm until 28th July.
Don’t expect the usual Gibbs’ stand-up comedy, these are plays with superb characters. To attempt three very different, one-person comedies (total time 70 minutes) the performer has to be talented, clever and brave, or simply totally mad. Andrea Gibbs is all of these. Her unique comedy skills has been proven a dozen times in the past, but here she amazed even the most ardent fans.
With the skilled writing of three of WA’s best comic scriptwriters, and the well-observed direction of Renee Newman-Storen the laughs just kept coming.
‘Naked Ambition’ by Kate Mulvany, is the tale of a young girl, who, on being brought up in a house full of cricket fans, has a secret ambition that she must achieve for her family and Australia! This is a subtle comedy to which many Aussies will relate. It has a warmth and fun to it.
‘Nature’s pocket’ in true Luke Milton tradition, is bawdy, ridiculous and will make you squirm - but it is well up (or should I say down) to his standard. It is the chronicle of a butch and intimidating, inmate at a woman’s prison, who can smuggle in whatever is required by fellow prisoners. Mobile phones will never be the same again!
‘Dora Green decides to bare her soul’ by Damon Lockwood has Andrea as a ‘true blue’ old Aussie dear, the type of 70-year old that could live next door to anyone. However Dora is missing her recently departed husband’s ‘affections’, but has hit on a new way to feel the warmth again. The laughs once again flowed constantly as the audience came to terms with this unusual old lady.
Brilliant and convincing characterisation in all of the plays.
The shows were introduced by the rich voice of Peter Holland, who truly got into the spirit of the show and let his hair down whilst filling the gaps for costume change.
Very much recommended, but you may have trouble getting tickets, because the word will soon go around about yet another Andrea Gibb’s success.
