Maureen: Harbinger of Death
 

Riverside Theatres and Soft Tread Enterprises present a night of wit, imagination, and storytelling with Maureen: Harbinger of Death, at Riverside Theatres from the 23rd to 25th of March.

Framed by velvet drapes and bedecked with Jatz cracker crumbs and cigarette ash, Maureen invites audiences into her bohemian living room. She’s here to take audiences on an intimate journey brimming with witty repartee, well-worn life advice, an exotic array of friends now gone and the dauntless policy of limitless imagination.

Magnificently flouting many of the rules of drama and narrative with exquisite storytelling, writer and performer Jonny Hawkings transforms into Maureen: a razor-tongued doyenne of Kings Cross in its heyday. Caustic and moving, Maureen: Harbinger of Death is an uplifting demonstration of the wisdom, vitality, kindness, and humour of women too often overlooked or dismissed by society.

    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.

    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    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.
