#14 Play

#14 Play - Completed 16 November

Now this task was a big surprise. I’ve seen plays before but never in a such a small setting where I could almost touch the actor. Sophie found this play called “The Sweetest Thing” at the Belvoir Theatre in Surry Hills. There was only 6 people in the cast and 3 of them I had seen on TV over the years in various shows. What a great experience so glad this is what Sophie suggested. I only got a couple of photos from the venue, no way I could get any of the play itself.

This is the description of the play.

Sarah is trapped in her parents’ story. Now she’s fled to New Zealand after the sudden death of her father, leaving the grief stricken remains of her family behind. Teetering out of balance she finds herself falling in love and lust with Jim, a relationship that will change everything, forever.Exploring the random and unexpected turning points of life through a fluid time frame and chaos theory, The Sweetest Thing is the latest offering from award-winning Australian playwright Verity Laughton. Director Sarah Goodes brings her exquisite vision to this tender, funny, sharp and sexy text in a must-see premiere production of a heartfelt local story that examines the desires and contradictions of the human heart.

Cast: Caroline Craig, Vanessa Downing, Diana Glenn, Thomas Conroy, Christopher Morris & Lucy Wigmore.
