Director Terese Maurici’s dynamic team really step up to the plate for this one!

It’s a Wonderful Life [A live radio play]

By Joe Landry – directed by Terese Maurici.

Dynamic performances by a cast – most of whom are changing character every few minutes. One minute we love them, the next, we are affronted by the character’s behaviour – a serious acting challenge in anyone’s book.  George Bailey’s dilemma is delivered with song, colour, and convincing dialogue. With one exception, the community of Bedford Falls look like a nice bunch of folk.

Should you get the opportunity to see this production – based on the classic James Stewart film and performed as a 1940s live radio style with a studio audience – it scores pretty well with the heart strings! An absolute “must-see”.

It’s a Wonderful Life [A live radio play]

By Joe Landry – directed by Terese Maurici.

This is the tale of George Bailey – a man who’d given up his own dreams in order to help others. He plans to commit suicide on Christmas Eve but his guardian angel, Clarence Odbody, appears and intervenes. Clarence shows him all the lives he, George, has touched and how very different life in his Bedford Falls community would be if George had never been born.

Inspired by the classic American film starring James Stewart, this production is performed 1940s live radio style with a studio audience. A fully immersive experience that will have you leaving the theatre full of love and joy.

“Inheritance” – Three generations, clashing attitudes, evolving ambitions, and ageing families…..Australian country values under the microscope. Heidelberg Theatre. 16 Nov. – 1 Dec, 2018

Inheritance

by arrangement with HLA Management Pty Ltd, written by Hannie Rayson and directed by Tim Scott.

The 80th birthday of twin sisters Dibs and Girlie should be a cause for celebration, but as the family gathers in the Mallee, the question of who will inherit the farm dominates. Inheritance pits old rural values against new political realities, exposing fault-lines running through three generations.  (Text by Chris McLean – HTC Posters & Programme).

“Blue Stockings” – Committed women fighting for an education and recognition….. at Heidelberg Theatre. 7 – 22 September, 2018

Posted on by

Blue Stockings

by arrangement with Origin Theatrical, on behalf of Samuel French Limited,  written by Jessica Swale and directed by Natasha Boyd

1896 – Girton College, Cambridge, Britain’s first college to admit women.  This story of four young women during one tumultuous academic year, fighting for the right to graduate alongside their male peers, is set against the larger backdrop of women’s suffrage. Little do they anticipate the hurdles in their way; love, class division or the strength of the opposition.   ( Text by Chris McLean – HTC Posters & Programme).
