ALMOST AN EVENING
Director Joh Hartog pulls a rabbit out of the hat with the final play called “The Debate” - a hilarious debate between God who Judges and God who Loves . This play has many clever twists and turns, and is satire at its best. Overton and Vickery-Howe excel at tongue-in-cheek humour, giving fine performances as the two Gods.
THE UMBRELLA PLAYS
Mel Matheson does not hold back in this knockabout role, to the extent of actually sustaining minor injuries as she is thrown around the stage by the other two.
This is a highly entertaining hour of clever comedy from the pen of Cerise de Gelder, directed with a fine comic insight by Joh Hartog. Put this one on your list.
KRANG!
The young cast of Adelaide actors, under the banner of Accidental Productions, deftly take their audience beyond the superficial interaction of housemates to explore what lies beneath.
David Hirst and Matthew Crook have strong stage presence and Hirst, particularly, can carry the audience with him as his character Dan's fears unfold.
