Two men; one Black, another White.

In the shadow of a historic and horrific crime in Africa, a witness starts to tell his story to a sympathetic scribe. But whose story is it then?

Once told, a story has a life of its own; it can shift its shape. It can change the life of the one who hears it. It can condemn; it can cure; it can kill.

This play traces the powerful life of a tragic story. The results of injustice, terror and violence do not stop at the event itself.

Neither do the identities of the characters stay stable, but morph to explore different ways of witnessing and responding to historical violence.

Devised and performed by celebrated Tanzanian/West Australian filmmaker Martin Mhando and Perth actor/writer David Moody, this production promises a unique chemistry of comedy, wit and tragedy.

Directed and designed by Serge Tampalini
Written and performed by Martin Mhando and David Moody
with Lesley-Anne Philps
Lighting design by Aleesha Green

GLYNDEBOURNE OPERA
FALSTAFF - Apr 30, May 1 & 2

"Verdi's score explodes with comic invention! Exceptional singing!" - Daily Express

Verdi's final opera, Falstaff is a mercurial, nimble-footed, darkly-funny and profusely tuneful portrait of Shakespeare's Fat Knight. An international cast is led by the exciting British baritone Christopher Purves in the larger-than-life role of the corpulent Falstaff, whose profilgate presence both outrages and inspires the leaner, meaner citizens of Windsor.

Director: Richard Jones / Conductor: Vladimir Jurowski
Cast: Christopher Purves, Marie-Nicole Lemieux, Jennifer Holloway, Dina Kutznetsova, Tassis Christoyannis, Adriana Kucerova. Approx duration: 133 mins

Cost: Registration is free

Hatched is Australia's most significant survey of emerging artists.

Heading into its 19th year, this landmark exhibition continues to provide an unparalleled opportunity for talented art school graduates to present their work in a professional gallery context alongside that of their national peers. It offers an all-important stepping-stone from the realm of education to the beginnings of a professional career as an artist.

This year 39 artists from 20 art schools across the country were selected to grace the vast galleries of PICA. Bear witness to these contemporary pioneers as they head into new artistic territory with their extreme mix of expanded drawing and painting practices, soft architecture and aural environments - amongst other eye, mind and ear-bending aesthetic experiments!

Hatched expands further in 2010 with the launch of the Doctor Harold Schenberg Art Prize, an annual award of $20,000 that will be presented to one Hatched artist each year. The Prize has been set up to allow an outstanding art school graduate to invest in the development of their practice through travel, research or production support.

Olga’s work addresses identity and memory and how we link it to notions of place, tradition, culture and customs. She has a personal history as a migrant and this informs her investigations of how people (and in this case women) are defined and labelled by local language and its hidden and double meanings.

Theo has wrapped domestic objects in brown paper, giving them new life and identities. A boxing glove is transformed into a ‘paper punch’, a pepper grinder into a ‘paper mill’, and a toy wooden plane becomes a ‘paper plane’. The simplicity of the brown paper strips the objects of individuality, almost like home-brand objects, yet their distinctive shapes still place them from specific periods of time. Theo has grouped the pieces so that they form a narrative; relationships give rise to new interpretations.

Hours: All shows 8:30pm, plus 2pm matinee Sat 24 Apr
Cost: Full $25 / Conc. $20 Blue Room Theatre Members: $20 / $15 Groups 8+ $15

“Lots of children are…adopted, Betty. Lots of children are… unwanted by their parents… thrown away like old pieces of garbage because they’re ugly… or plain.”

Tantrums, death threats, sugar coated guilt trips… Welcome to the household of Mummy and Betty.

We want to believe a mother/daughter relationship is full of lollipops and heart shaped chocolates. In something a little closer to the truth, award-winning writer Suzanne Hawley smashes the fairy tale to reveal a world full of lies and blame.

Mummy Loves You Betty Ann Jewel raises the question we all dread: can we escape our conditioning, or are we destined to become like our parents?

Take a seat, take sides and watch as Mummy and Betty battle each other for supremacy in this deliciously dark musical comedy.

Directed by Sarah Fay
Featuring Whitney Richards and Jenny McCann
Produced by Simone Ruggiero
Original music by Steve Hearne
Musical direction by Rhoda Lopez
