  • Windmill Theatre, GIRL ASLEEP Is a Journey Into the Absurd, Scary and Beautiful Heart of the Teenage Mind
    1 WINNER ADEL AIDE FILM FESTIVAL FOXTEL MOVIES AUDIENCE AWARDS MOST POPULAR FEATURE Girl Asleep bags most popular feature at Adelaide Film Festival. IF MAGAZINE It’s in Myers’s commitment to eccentricity that Girl Asleep – an art-house film made firmly with a teenage audience in its sight – finds its heart. THE GUARDIAN AUSTRALIA Girl Asleep is the stylish, formally exuberant debut of theatre director Rosemary Myers. A funny and imaginative portrait of growing pains. THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER With the endless production of superhero films and film remakes these days, it is refreshing to see a film with such raw acting and originality from start to finish. It’s hard not to fall in love with the characters in Girl Asleep, and be left with the warmth of the film long after the credits have stop rolling. THE UPSIDE NEWS Inventive and confidently executed... bright and occasionally subversive take on teen growing pains that gives fresh legs to a familiar genre. We’re lucky to call this one our own. RIP IT UP Profoundly funny. SCENESTR Wildly funny and deeply moving in equal measure, it is a work rich in larrikin character but universal in its themes and appeal. As Greta embraces her blossoming self, so to does Australian cinema welcome another memorable movie heroine. SCREEN SPACE A memorable, comic balance of poise and chaos. ADELAIDE REVIEW Colourful, eccentric... production about a girl navigating the pitfalls of puberty with a casual side of magical realism... one for fans of coming-of-age dramas and colourful Wes Anderson-style quirkfests.

  • Tennessee Williams'
    TENNESSEE WILLIAMS’ 18 OCT – 16 NOV 2019 ADAPTED FOR THE STAGE BY PIERRE LAVILLE AND EMILY MANN This adaptation of BABY DOLL was originally produced by McCarter Theatre Center, Princeton, NJ: Emily Mann, Artistic Director; Timothy J. Shields, Managing Director. BABY DOLL is presented by special arrangement with The University of the South, Sewanee, Tennessee. WELCOME When I saw the film BABY DOLL a few years back, I wanted to stage it thinking the film was based on a play of the same name, not realising it was actually based on Williams’ earlier play, 27 WAGONS FULL OF COTTON. There was no play of BABY DOLL to perform. A few years later two scripts cropped up around the same time and I was thrilled with Pierre Laville and Emily Mann’s adaptation. It captures the essence of the film, the damage of the characters and Tennessee Williams’ beautiful dialogue. I am thrilled we are presenting BABY DOLL - almost as a new play by Tennessee Williams in 2019. With Shaun Rennie at the helm of this beautiful cast and creative team, we are very excited indeed. Enjoy!
