Duck, Duck, Goose

‘Duck, Duck, Goose’ collaboratively devised by Sarah Rueben and Arielle Gray, and written by Jeffrey Jay Fowler this is a Blue Room and Gray Ruby Production. A Pride WA Festival Event, this 50-minute play is presented at the Blue Room Theatre, Northbridge from 17^th September until 4^th October each evening at 8.00 pm.

Heather (Sarah Rueben) and Lucy (Arielle Gray) have been best friends since primary school, and are inseparable. At an early age, they pledged to a life of chastity, after all ‘have you seen a drawing of a penis?’
They live together, eat together, and remain virgins together – until Lucy decides there must be more to sex than she alone can provide. Her search takes her to a young man, LOL (Tim Watts), on the rebound from a lost love. Will Lucy have the nerve to carry out her desires, or stay true to Heather?

The set has to be unique, with duck and goose feathers everywhere, floor, walls – everywhere! Tim Watts’ animation was of a very high standard, both in drawing and morphing. Jeffrey Jay Fowler’s direction was punchy, he had the girls deliver their lines with naïve innocence, spoken condescendingly as they do on a TV children’s show. Three well thought out characters.
Plenty of laughs from the script filled with insane similes. The applause lasted long after the actors left the stage.

uhh... I have a life... hence going out to the theatre with friends to see a play being directed by an old friend. Nor do I recall saying anything negative about the puppetry or that particular actor's performance. What's more where do you get off slinging personal insults when all i'm doing is a posting a review? Which, may I remind you is supposed to be impartial. You're free to disagree with me Max but please try to give your disagreement a bit more substance than "get a life". Perhaps also try to encompass more of what you liked about the show rather than "I liked the bit with the goose, hyuk hyuk". Ok so maybe I took some poetic licence with that quote and at the same time lowered myself to your level but then I wouldn't want you to feel that I was talking down to you. ~Garreth
