Plays and Actors Required are: “Henna Night” by Amy Rosenthal directed by Peter Kirkwood (pxk@bigpond.com.au) Judith, recently deserted by her boyfriend, is in a quandary. Should she dye her hair or slash her wrists? Either option is going make a terrible mess on the bathroom floor. A knock at the door, however, brings about an evening of deep emotion, revealing just how easily we can be betrayed by those we love. The use of subtle humour and sharp characterizations show how fraternizing with the enemy can feel like spending quality time with a friend. This wickedly perceptive, touching and witty script offers an ideal opportunity for two women to play complex and meaningful characters. - cast required: 2 women, age: 20+ “Sandcastles on the Beach” by John McColl directed by Nicola Bond (nicola_bond@hartleys.com.au or 9316 8751 (A/H)) This unusual and highly original play is set in the home an elderly couple, Butter and Marge, who are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their newly-married son, Weston and his young wife, Trish. Butter, who is dying of cancer and Marge, his devoted wife have chosen unique funeral arrangements to counteract Marge's future loneliness. Soon, the pleasant nature of Weston's visit to announce Trish's pregnancy turns sour, when Marge announces - "We are going to have your dad stuffed". But this is not the only surprise in store because Marge has already decided on her husband's final resting place - a large drinks cabinet from Ikea. A bizarre tale that challenges the everyday concept of grief, making this a uniquely funny, yet poignant play. - cast required: Butter - male 65+; Marge - female 65+; Weston - male late 30's early 40's; Trish - female mid 20's “Interior Designs” by Jimmie Chinn directed by Sherrilee Walsh (sherrilee_walsh@hotmail.com) An arrogant odd job man is offering his “services” to three lonely and frustrated women. “Services” being the operative word; Interior Designs follows Holly, Irene and Amy’s yearning to fill the drab emptiness of their lives. Ducking and weaving, the odd job man leaves each woman in the depths of despair and half finished repairs. This poignant play, full of acerbic wit, offers a deep insight into the loneliness and frustration that we feel at some stage of our lives. A deeply satisfying play for all actors. - cast required: Him 30 +; Holly 40s; Amy 30s; Irene Mid 40s to Mid 50s For more information, contact the directors direct.
