Up For Grabs - Kwinana Theatre Workshop
Tue, 14 Aug 2007, 11:15 amThere are tickets available for the WA premiere of David Williamson's 'Up For Grabs' which opens this friday at the Kwinana Arts Centre - Sulphr Road, Kwinana.
For those who are tossing up whether to come down to see the show, but think it's too far. Think again, Kwinana Arts Centre is only 25 min from Perth.
Also, this is not an overly long play - it will be done by 10pm, so it won't be too late a night.
Please see following details for the play and bookings number.
Kwinana Theatre Workshopi's next production will be David Williamsons:
Up For Grabs.
Directed by Paul Treasure.
Casti:
Simone - Kristen Twynam-Perkins
Gerry - Adam Salathiel
Manny - Lee Wright
Felicity - Kimberley Shaw
Dawn - Melinda Sklenars
Kel - Don Lee
Mindy - Joy Norton
(Yes you have read correctly Up For Grabs marks the return to the stage of not one but two Finlay Award Winning Directors, Kimberley Shaw and Lee Wright, after 8 and 11 years respectively.)
The story deals with the efforts of Simone, a young fledgling art dealer, to sell a painting by Australian artist Brett Whitely for a record $2 million and thereby establish herself at the “big end of town”. This ambition turns to desperation when she signs a contract guaranteeing this price.
Performances:
August 17, 18, 22, 24 & 25 at 8pm
19 & 25 2pm.
Adult - $17 & Conc - $15

Having been lucky enough to witness the performances from ALL the ACTORS within this play I can honestly say that directors / choreographers / Findlay award winners and even those who are just amateur people willing to try a David Williamson play for the first time I take my hat off to you all. Congrats to Paul Treasure on what must have been an exhausting role as director for these seven fine talented ACTORS (irrespective of what past experience they have)
Also a quick note to compliment the lighting and sound technicians for this show, I may have misjudged but I'm sure I counted well over 150 lighting and sound cues..... That’s more than one a minute for this play. Congrats to all involved in this show and I know it's kind of a cliché but if you only see one show a year then I would certainly recommend you see this one.
