Harbour Lites
Mon, 17 Sept 2007, 01:57 pmI managed to catch the last night of this collection of 3 one-act plays at Harbour last Saturday and I am glad I did. Apparently only 2 of the 3 will be going on to the ITA Dramafest.
My frequent lament is that there just does not seem to be enough good quality Australian-written one-acters around and I applaud the efforts of those who take the bull by the horns and write their own. However, these 3 plays (which I believe were all English-written) were well chosen and the Aussie actors (and directors) did a good job on the English accents.
Overall,I was impressed with the standard of these plays. One-act festivals can be an opportunity for experimentation with ideas and personnel. They are also a great opportunity to be 'noticed' if you are a talented young artist, working your way up in the theatrical world, thus not to be taken too lightly.
Well done, all.
I'm with you Daniel

Look at the Australian Script Centre site. They have an enormous list of Aussie one actors.
I too am refreshed when I see an Australian play, there are far too few performed.
I have a few on my website and I'm not alone.
Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing.
