Daniel Keene's Night, A Wall, Two Men

 

Night, A Wall, Two Men (Jacaranda Theatre): a vicious, funny play is exactly what it says on the box: two nameless down-and-outs against a wall with their nightly musings, arguments, abuse and lamentations to keep them company. This is theatre of poverty, of the voiceless and invisible, which emerges from the shadows and bites you on the arse.  

Warning: Frequent coarse language.

Director: Debra Low (Artistic Director, Jacaranda Theatre)                                          Cast: Donal Cox and John Eastman

SEX, GOD AND RED TAPE

An Australian Drama Showcase

Bringing together the themes considered “taboo” at the dinner party table - Sex, Religion and Politics - Jacaranda Theatre delivers a rehearsed reading showcase of Australia’s most acclaimed, bold and innovative playwrights with a selection of plays which expose Australia’s exciting, immensely challenging and sometimes disturbing underbelly.

Performed at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts over six nights, this cutting edge contribution debunks the myths of Australia’s constant sunshine culture of “Surf, Sand and Soaps”.

Europe, by Michael Gow, Finborough Theatre

 europe poster

Europe tells the story of Douglas, a young Australian who travels to Europe in search of Barbara, a European actress with whom he fell in love when she toured to Australia.

In doing so it engages and draws its audience into a world where each character comes to represent something much more than themselves, transforming a very human story into a dramatic metaphor for history.
