Minefields and Miniskirts
Tue, 29 May 2012, 12:52 pmIt was my first visit to Harbour Theatre,Fremantle on Saturday night - and a memorable one for all the right reasons.
Minefields and Miniskirts is a quietly moving, at times toe tapping tribute to the Australian women involved in the Vietnam war and its legacy. The ensemble cast of four women and musical accompanist on guitar each take turn in a recollection of their involvement interspersed with well-known songs from the era. What a superb job they do. I sat engrossed throughout the play which is staged without intermission. The technical aspects were spot on with all lighting cues and sound effects timed to perfection. Congratulations to cast, crew and director Peter Kirkwood. This production is highly professional and thoroughly recommended.

"cast of four women and
"cast of four women and musical accompanist on guitar" adds up to five.

Correction
Sorry, Walter, there was a cast of 5 women (Eve, Sandy, Margaret, Ruth, Kathy) and musical accompanist makes 6. Kathyrn English's character, Margaret, spent most the time to the side of the stage rather than "on the stage" but she was still a vital part of the cast.
But I agree, it was a great play & well done to all involved
