What's On

TUESDAY
 

A new production of Louris van de Geer's play TUESDAY opens Belvoir's 25A independent theatre season for 2019 this February.  As an intricate satire of social alienation unravelling in a suburban supermarket, TUESDAY follows both the thoughts and actions of four individuals, culminating in a shocking act of violence.

Equal parts David Attenborough documentary on suburbia and a darkly funny Cohen Brothers film, van de Geer's dry humour explores the nature of violence as well as the flawed nature of our commodified communities.

Director Nell Ranney says "We all know what it's like to do the grocery shopping without ever making eye contact with the people walking up and down the aisles alongside you.  It's the perfect setting to ask what's going on in the heads of our neighbours."

Duncan Fellows (The Letdown), Frances Duca (Ali's Wedding), Tom Anson Mesker (Belvoir's A Taste of Honey) and recent NIDA graduate Bridie McKim will play four people whose lives are brought together in a supermarket.

TUESDAY runs from 6-23 February at Belvoir St Theatre's Downstairs Theatre, as part of 25A

    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.

    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.
