I wanted to like it so much, because it was part of the Pride Festival. I thought the performers were actually both considerably strong, but the script was appauling! I was thinking to myself \"this must be a first attempt at writing my an amatuer.\" In the interval when I read my program to find that this was actually a published text with a history I was shocked out of my black lesbian boots. I also saw \"Butt Boy and Tigger\", a gay oriented play from the eastern states which suffered the same problem of low quality concept but with good performers. \"Duck, Duck, Goose!\" however, a Perth made addition to the Pride theatre season, blows both of these visiting plays by actually having a point and a heart. I begin to wonder - Is there really a dearth of theatre in WA, or is that just an old label that has stuck despite a rapid advancement in quality? I guess Dying City will be the decider. - Karen Nielson Tue, 14 Oct 2008 13:12:24 +0100
