Love Song Dedications (without Richard Mercer)
 

Ten Tonne Sparrow presents the world-premiere production of the charmingly sincere and touchingly funny Love Song Dedications (without Richard Mercer).

Created by, and starring, multi-disciplinary artists Tom Hogan and Bonnie Leigh-Dodds, the production was inspired by their lament for the long-lost radio show, Love Song Dedications, and its elusive former host.

Richard Mercer’s radio show ran nightly across Australia’s East Coast between 1997 and 2013. Over 17 years, Mercer’s trademark baritone voice welcomed the lovelorn and lovestruck as they called in to dedicate a song and speak to the man who was at once counsellor and cupid.

After listening to thousands of these personal dedications, and hundreds of heartfelt songs about unrequited love and the greatest love all, Tom and Bonnie are on a quest to find the perfect love song… objectively. Love Song Dedications (without Richard Mercer) offers the ultimate therapeutic playlist.

Love Song Dedications (without Richard Mercer) is made in conjunction with the podcast mini-series Missing Richard Mercer.

    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.

    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
