More plates to smash, more lentils to mash!
Stage Left’s YOUNG ONES hit the road

THE madcap antics of Vyvyan, Neil, Rick and Mike had Goldfields audiences in fits of laughter earlier this year – and now Perth fans of the smash hit TV show “The Young Ones” will be able to “join the freedom moped ride” as well.

Following the huge success of the Kalgoorlie-Boulder season, Stage Left Theatre Troupe Goldfields WA Inc. has been invited to take the show on the road and perform in the metropolitan area.

Production manager and Stage Left Vice President Lisa van Oyen said enthusiastic negotiations have been underway between Stage Left; the three writers of the original hit TV show and the coordinator of Kalamunda Performing Arts Centre, Melanie DeCull, to take the play on the road.

“We had a number of Perth friends come up and see the show in March and they absolutely raved about it when they got back,” Ms van Oyen said.

“That set the original discussions into play, with many asking if we would ever take it on the road. After such a successful season here in Kalgoorlie-Boulder and with such overwhelming support, we started exploring the possibility.

“Stage Left’s motto is to ‘take theatre to the people’ because a Troupe travels about – so when this opportunity knocked, we decided to grab it.”

Director Julian Canny adapted a number of Young Ones episodes to create the play, which made its world debut this year, with Stage Left staking a claim as the first community theatre to ever be granted the rights to adapt the show to stage.

The three writers – actor/author Ben Elton; actor Rik Mayall and writer Lise Mayer each have again given their blessing; and support the touring production.

All set to reprise their roles are Phil van Oyen as Vyvyan; Kevin Blair as Rick; Richard Burrowes as Neil; Frank Cotter as Mike and local comedian John (JT) Taylor as Jerzei Balowski. John Rees, Sarah-Jayne (SJ) Eeles and Helen Blench round out the cast with various cameo appearances.

Mr Canny said Perth fans of the show will be guaranteed a night of laughs with anarchy, plate smashing, lentils, poetry, a live band and Sir Cliff Richard!

Ms DeCull said plans were well underway for the performance on Saturday August 15 at the Kalamunda Performing Arts Centre. Tickets are on sale through TAZ Tix, with full details at www.tazentertainment.com.au

Meantime, the Stage Left gang are planning a “revival” show in Kalgoorlie-Boulder to dust off the lentils and smash some crockery the week before the tour. Ticketing details and more information will be announced during the upcoming season of one act plays, which kicks off at the theatre in Burt Street on Friday June 5^th.
