Jigsaws opens Friday at KTW

Monday 8 February 2010

Please come and see 'Jigsaws' at Kwinana Theatre Workshop. Yes, I know, you think Kwinana is the end of the of the earth, but its not that far really - 30 minutes from Perth on the Freeway. And I think you'll find the journey well worth while - its a great play, written here in Perth in the late eighties. And I have a great cast:- Sharon Edsall, Sarah Cosstick, Judith Laudehr, Judi St Clair and Elizabeth Connor. They even look like a family! Everyone will recognise at least one member of their own family among the five women on stage. Some of the scenes just about give off sparks - they crackle with so much tension. Some of them even make the cast cry sometimes. Its very funny, sad, and confronting. Don't bring kids under 15 or so, there is quite a lot of bad language, overt sexual references, and adult themes abound. Yes, it is a feminist play, a bit dated in parts, but well worth seeing. And men enjoy it too - and they can learn sooo much about how women really think. To book phone 9439 0290 between 12.30 and 5.30pm daily, 9419 3354 at all other times. The play opens this Friday night 12th Feb, and plays Friday and Saturday nights for 3 weekends. Matinee at 2pm on Sunday 21st Feb. KTW is in the Koorliny Arts Centre, Sulphur Rd, Kwinana. Get off the Freeway at Thomas St and turn right. Stay on Thomas till you come to the lights at Gilmour, turn left, then left again at lights into Sulphur Rd. Koorliny Arts Centre is on your right at the roundabout. Easy. Please come, you'll be glad you did. Sue Hayward.
