Solo Spot - 2
Wed, 9 Feb 2011, 09:01 am‘Solo Spot – 2’ is showing at The Blue Room, in Northbridge with one more presentation at 8.30pm on Friday 11th February.
Jane’s Torment – written by Ron Steele and performed by Zalia Joi.
A mother, with three psychologically disturbed children, is on the verge of a nervous breakdown when she sees, in the local paper, a competition with a wonderful prize. Could this be the answer to her dreams?
A difficult style of play to open with, but Zalia took us through her troubles in a roller coaster of emotions that really did reach the hearts of the audience. A tragic reflection of today’s society – well written.
The Puppet Man – written and performed by Bradley Stevens.
A poorly controlled marionette (Brad) slumps on a table, gradually he comes to life. Fed up with being controlled, he tries to empower himself and attempt freedom.
Very clever mime wonderfully created and executed.
Keep or Kill – written by James Helm and Andrea Gibbs, performed by James Helm and four audience members.
A game show poking fun at the style of so many crass TV productions.
In the style of impromptu comedy, this zany act gave a change of pace and interest.
Click to Add a Title – written by Jade Nobbs and Michelle Francis, performed by Michelle Francis.
‘Megan, that is M-E-G-A-N, is my name and I am here today to explain how you can become a better person’ - we have all been to numerous lectures and cringed at the lack of talent of the speaker, struggling to ‘help’ us. This act brings together all of the diabolical catch phrases and mannerisms.
You will squirm with joy as Michelle blunders her way through the lecture. Filled with sincerity, but totally unaware of her audience. Very funny.
Southern Belle (?) - written by Adam Scott and performed by Tegan Mulvany.
An actress has been totally miscast as a girl from Maine in the US. She can only perform a deep southern accent. Her figure and age are entirely wrong for the part. The actress, dressed in a long lace dress with puffy sleeves and old-fashioned lace-up shoes, goes into a kind of revolt as she seeks the audience’s support for her plight.
Tegan, returning to the stage after a five-year break, has lost none of her magic. She controlled the audience who were riveted by the clever monologue and sympathised with her plight. Extremely funny.
The Good German – written and performed by Sarah Furtner
With her plaited hair rolled up at the back of her head, and a long black dress everyone knew that this young lady was straight from the Black Forest – but was she? Sarah was in denial. Although of German stock, she had never been to Germany in her life. Why does everyone think of Nazis when really the German people were really just trying help the rest of Europe have some of their perfect genes?
With a broad smile Sarah gave us some wonderfully strange explanations, with warped logic, as to why she is proud to be German. A very dry delivery of some hilarious throwaway lines. Great fun.
An Amazing Truth – written by Chris Isaacs and performed by Natalie Holmwood.
Rodney De L’Aqua, a French name that put excitement into the heart – and other places – of this young schoolgirl. She takes us through the highs and lows of her schooldays and later life.
This is an extremely funny play with very sad undertones. Natalie was superb, as ever, as her face showed every passion in this well written script.
