Solo spot - 3
Wed, 16 Feb 2011, 09:55 amBursting written and performed by Janette McGinty.
When you are doing ballet classes as a child and you suffer from tinkle ‘leakage’, then it is not much fun. Janette searched years for a way to overcome her problem, and now she wants to pass on her experience to us.
Dressed in a black leotard and a pink tutu, this lady of ‘over 21’ leaps into action, doing her uninhibited, strenuous ballet exercises. With a cheeky grin and a sense of humour similar to her fellow Glaswegian Billy Connelly, Janette had the audience in stitches from the word go? Known in Scotland for her fun portable shower, this lass will take off quickly in Australia.
Sari written and performed by Trushna Marisuri
Being Australian born and bred, means little to immigrants. At home the food, culture and dress can be the same as their country of origin. However, Trushna hasn’t worn a sari for years, and now, faced with a special event, is having to learn all over again how to drape the garment. If the pleats face one way she is a Princess, the other way one of the lower classes – but which way is which. Her mother will be able to help, but will her Mum read other messages into the phone call?
A fascinating tale of Indian life and ritual, blended with plenty of humour.
I, Candy written by Lis Hoffman and Phil Jeng Kane and performed by Narelle Belle. Directed by Lis Hoffmann.
At the age of thirty Candy Burrelli I still living at home. She lives in her room in order to avoid facing her mother and all of the questions that are bound to arise regarding her lifestyle.
A sensitive and beautiful presentation on a topic that will ring true to so many of us. With a touching song, delivered with emotion, to finish. Simple but moving.
No date for Alexander DeLarge created and performed by Robert Townsend
When a man, dressed as McDowell’s character DeLarge from ‘Clockwork Orange’, arrives at the restaurant he finds himself alone. What has happened to his date? He amuses himself whilst waiting.
Some clever magic, slickly performed.
Quiet Chaos written and performed by Jay Emmanuel Masih.
Now living in an immigration camp, we are told the tragic and horrendous tale of this young boy (Burmese?) being separated from his family.
This young actor portrays a four-year child, with all the expressions and body movements. Telling his disturbing story of the confusion and turmoil of his short life. Brilliant acting, well written raw emotion.
A sour reminder or Lola Sweet created by Whitney Richards and Chris Isaacs.
Directed by Chris Isaacs and performed by Whitney Richards. Design Bryan Woltjen
When you are yet again the bridesmaid, and the runt of the litter, the thought of attending your sisters wedding is not an event to cherish. In fact Lola is so distraught at the thought she busies herself with housework and redecoration.
Whitney, who was so successful last year with ‘Mummy loves you Betty Ann Jewel’, plays a similar character here. A few laughs amongst the chaos.
