Catastrophe and Cold Tea

Good morning/day/evening to all! The University Dramatic Society is proud to announce a special play to be held in the University of Western Australia's Tavern. In the tradition of surreal British comedy (read: The Young Ones), for your consideration: "The Leaks are a very ugly, unpleasant British family living out a low existence in a backwards Manchester cottage. In between swearing at each other, drinking horrendous amounts of alcohol and cheating on their welfare payments by pretending that a life-sized dummy is their invalid grandfather, there isn't too much to celebrate - that is, before Gary Leak attempts to create a swimming pool in his basement and accidentally unearths a priceless and possibly extraterrestrial metal compound. Suddenly, the Leaks are the focus of a worldwide media circus, and their priceless treasure is being hunted by several interested parties: some good, and some evil. Is Vicky Leak cheating on Hugo with the milkman? Why does Hugo keep calling his daughter "luggage"? And will the Leaks manage to sell the metal for a fortune before its terrible secret is revealed? James Marzec presents a new UDS play in which the heroes are awful, the villains are familiar, and the only sympathetic character is a lump of rock." For more details, please check the UDS section of this website. The production runs from the 22nd-25th of September, from 7:30P.M. onwards. As I am a Theatre Australia newbie, I would be happy to offer complimentary tickets to any willing to see the play and forge a new friendship with an aspiring young playwright. Yours, -James Marzec
