SUMMARY

A sensation in London and New York, this is one of the funniest and most inventive plays by Britain's grand master of comedy.

A hilarious satire of television and a touching romantic comedy, it begins in a television studio where a hospital soap opera is being taped. One actor starts speaking gibberish; he is an "actoid" a robot and his programming is off kilter.

Adam, the young nephew of the producer and an aspiring writer who worships the director (once a great movie director and now a broken down has been), is on the set. Adam starts chatting with Jacie Tripplethree, the actoid (serial number JC333) playing the nurse and finds, to his surprise, that not only can she carry a conversation but, due to what she calls a fault in her programming, she has a creative imagination. 

Adam wants to build a new television series around her but the studio will not hear of it. He also finds he is falling in love with the charming robot!

Will Adam get the green light on his series? Will love prevail? 

Jacie is one of Ayckbourn's greatest characters; her portrayer won all of London's major acting awards.

Penelope tells her story from the afterlife, from her miraculous birth to her marriage to the wily Odysseus. Her life shaters when cousin Helen runs off with a foreign prince, sparking war. Odysseus departs, leaving Penelope alone to navigate a world of uncertainty. As years pass, suitors descend, eager for her wealth and hand. With few option, Penelope turns to her loyal maids, waiting for a husband who may never return.

These maids are also with Penelope in the afterlife, to participate in her telling of the events of her life .. and to remind her of the role she played in the ending to theirs.

EPISODE: Wrong Turn at Lungfish

Written by Garry Marshall & Lowell Ganz

Directed by Rosie Aust

Production by Galleon Theatre Group

ABOUT THE EPSIODE

For the Love of Theatre Podcast introduces cast members, Tony Busch, Dora Stamos, Wade Cook, along with Director, Rosie Aust, who discuss everything behind-the-scenes for this production of Wrong Turn at Lungfish by the Galleon Theatre Group.

ABOUT THE PLAY

"A Play Filled with Wit, Wisdom, and Second Chances"

The title refers to an evolutionary hypothesis that man's path from bug to beast wasn't about developing the most sophisticated survival equipment; his development was simply the product of "a wrong turn at the lungfish". 

Funny, heartfelt, and filled with wisdom, Wrong Turn at Lungfish is a must-see for those who know that sometimes, life's best lessons come from unlikely places.

THE GLASS MENAGERIE

Written by TENNESSEE WILLIAMS

Directed by Clinton Nitschke

The University of Adelaide Theatre Guild Student Society

Featuring interviews with CAST MEMBERS, Jessica Merrick (Amanda Wingfield), Connor Duncan (Tom Wingfield), Mia Livingston-Pearce (Laura Wingfield), Liam Warmeant (Jim O’Connor) and DIRECTOR, Clinton Nitschke, with SPECIAL GUEST HOST Laura McLeod (Stage Manager).

'So what are we going to do now, honey, the rest of our lives? Just sit down in this house and watch the parades go by? Amuse ourselves with the glass menagerie, darling? Eternally play those worn-out records your father left us as a painful reminder of him?'

A drama of great tenderness, charm and beauty, The Glass Menagerie is one of the most famous plays of the modern theatre.

Amanda Wingfield is a faded, tragic remnant of Southern gentility who lives in poverty in a dingy St. Louis apartment with her son, Tom, and her daughter, Laura. Amanda strives to give meaning and direction to her life and the lives of her children, though her methods are ineffective and irritating. Tom is driven nearly to distraction by his mother's nagging and seeks escape in alcohol and the world of the movies. Laura also lives in her illusions. She is crippled, and this defect, intensified by her mother's anxiety to see her married, has driven her more and more into herself. 

When a gentleman caller arrives for dinner, the Wingfield family is flooded with hope. However, it is uncertain if this visitor will change things for the better.

MOTHER & SON

Written by Geoffrey Atherden

Directed by Jude Hines

The Adelaide Repertory Theatre Company

This episode features interviews with CAST MEMBERS, Penni Hamilton Smith (Maggie Beare), Patrick Clements (Arthur Beare), Nikki Gaertner, Mollie Mooney, Sandy Whitelaw, Jess Corrie, Alifa Willoughby and Stephen Bills, along with the Director of Mother & Son, Jude Hines.

Ageing isn’t for the old or faint-hearted….This poignant tribute to ageing is about dependence, love, and family and being driven up the wall by someone you love but never outsmart!

The Rep breathes new life into the celebrated Australian TV series in this play, commissioned for stage by the original series writer, Geoffrey Atherden.

Voted the best Australian TV series ever, this stage production is filled with laughter, nostalgia, and poignant moments exploring the themes of family bonds and the challenges of ageing.

This production will entertain audiences young & old.

SYNOPSIS

Maggie Beare is in the early stages of dementia, and her younger son, Arthur, reluctantly lives with her. Despite being increasingly forgetful, Maggie is lucid enough to strategically manipulate Arthur, usually for something outlandish and inconvenient. Their family is dysfunctional, and Arthur’s budding love life is ‘on the rocks’ before he gets to hand-holding. Audiences can expect a hearty, laugh-out-loud-great time.

We introduce the renowned Adelaide performers Penni Hamilton–Smith in the Maggie Beare role, originally played by Ruth Cracknell, and Patrick Clements as Arthur Beare, originally played by Garry McDonald. A talented supporting cast includes Stephen Bills, Nikki Gaertner, Mollie Mooney, Sandy Whitelaw, Jess Corrie, and introducing Alifa Willoughby and Henry Bacon.

Twisted: The Untold Story of the Royal Vizier

Originally produced by the geniuses at StarKid Productions

Marie Clark Musical Theatre Company

SEASON: 15th - 23rd of November

This episode of For the Love of Theatre Podcast features interviews with Cast Members, Sash Elliott (The Princess) Ben Todd (Ja'Far), Axel Moen (Aladdin), Darcie Yelland (Ensemble) and Director, Kristian Latella, of Twisted: The Untold Story of the Royal Vizier.

Show Synopsis:

Originally produced by StarKid Productions and written in the style of Wicked, Twisted cleverly re-tells the classic Disney movie, Aladdin, but from the perspective of the villain...

Ja’far is a hardworking, honest politician in a magic kingdom that has fallen on hard times. Corruption is rampant on all levels, crime is up (thanks to the efforts of that thief, Aladdin!) and the kingdom is on the verge of bankruptcy. When the naive princess angers the prince of the Kingdom of Pik-zahr, Ja’far remembers a tale told to him by his deceased wife – that of an all-powerful Djinn, hidden in a common lamp. To save the kingdom from certain destruction and ensure a happy ending for all, Ja’far must do everything he can to get his hands on that lamp, even when the road gets a little... twisted!

Content advice. While Twisted is a cheeky homage to Disney, this production contains strong language, sexual references and adult themes. Recommended only for mature audiences.

EPISODE: The Boy from Oz

The star studded story of the rise to fame of Australia's own Peter Allen!

The Metropolitan Musical Theatre Company (the Met)

The Arts Theatre, Adelaide

This episode is moderated by Special Guest Host, Ben Todd. Featuring interviews with Selena Britz (Director), Carmel Vistoli (Choreographer), Lindsay Prodea (CAST, Peter Allen), Bronwen James (CAST, Judy Garland), and Danielle Panfilo (CAST, Liza Minnelli).

MORE ABOUT OUR GUEST HOST

Ben has been involved in theatre since he stumbled upon auditions for The Crucible.

SYNOPSIS of The Boy from Oz

The Boy From Oz is a class above all other ‘jukebox’ musicals with a plot skillfully weaved around the life and complexities of Peter Allen. The songs and lyrics sit easily with the rhythm of the show as characters enter and re-enter his life, sometimes in spirit, and it is Peter’s experiences and memories that ultimately become the stories he writes and sings from the heart.
