COMING TO MELBOURNE AND THE PENINSULA
National Theatre, St Kilda, 29 January - 7 February 2004
Frankston Arts Centre, 11-14 February 2004
Recently formed Melbourne theatre company ‘Stella Entertainment’ will stage Paris as its debut production in January / February 2004. Running for two weeks at The National Theatre in St Kilda, before moving to the Frankston Arts Centre for a further week, the production – complete with new songs and music re-orchestrated by Kevin Hocking – will be part of the World Premiere season.
ItÂ’s the oldest, greatest, most tragic love story in history. It features such legendary figures as Achilles, Ulysses and Cassandra; it started the decade-long Trojan War and ended with the infamous Trojan Horse. It is the story of Helen of Troy, and her undying love for the Trojan prince, Paris.
Paris will be directed by Peter Fitzpatrick, head of Performing Arts at Monash University and an AFI Award winner for his screen adaptation of beloved Australian movie Hotel Sorrento. Co-director and Production Designer will be Michael Coe, who has had extensive experience in theatre in both Melbourne and Sydney.
Musical Direction will be provided by Andrew Patterson, a talented young musician and composer. His new musical ‘The White Rose’ has premiered in Melbourne and has just toured in Singapore. Andrew is currently involved with ‘We Will Rock You’. Choreographer will be Roman Berry, a professional performer and dancer, who was a cast member in Cameron McIntosh’s Miss Saigon. Roman has recently directed Panorama's Fame and PLOS Musical Productions' West Side Story.
Paris will be a daring and innovative show with an exciting young cast featuring Ben Spaull as Paris; Angela Scundi as Helen; Phil Haby as Menalaus and Jessica Enes as Cassandra.
Jon English will attend the opening night on 29 January for what is expected to be a successful season, following the sell out seasons in Sydney.
Celebrate the power of Love.
