  • Sugar Babies - the Quintessential Burlesque Show
    SEPTEMBER,1986 Vol 10 No 8 ISSN 0314 - 0598 A publication of the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust Sugar Babies - The Quintessential Burlesque Show personality and his own jokes. Not all the companies, however, lived up to the audience's expectations; the comedians were not always brilliant and witty, the girls weren't always beautiful. This proved to be Ralph Allen's inspiration for SUGAR BABIES. "During the course of my research, one question kept recurring. Why not create a quintessen­ tial Burlesque Show out of authentic materials - a show of shows as I have played it so often in the theatre of my mind? After all, in a theatre of the mind, nothing ever disappoints. " After running for seven years in America - both in New York and on tour - the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust will mount SUGAR BABIES in Australia, opening in Sydney at Her Majesty's Theatre on October 30. In February it will move to Melbourne and other cities, including Adelaide, Perth and Auckland. The tour is expected to last about 39 weeks. Eddie Bracken, who is coming from the USA to star in the role of 1st comic in SUGAR BABIES, received rave reviews from critics in the USA. "Bracken, with his rolling eyes, rubber face and delightful slow burns, is the consummate performer, " said Jim Arpy in the Quad City Times. Since his debut in 1931 on Broadway, Bracken has appeared in Sugar Babies from the original New York production countless movies and stage shows. Garry McDonald will bring back to life one of Harry Rigby, happened to be at the con­ Australia's greatest comics by playing his SUGAR BABIES, conceived by role as "Mo" (Roy Rene).

  • Shakespeare and the Actor's Voice
    KENNEDY, ‘Shakespeare and the Actor’s Voice’ | Australian Studies vol. 6 | 2014 Shakespeare and the Actor’s Voice: Close Reading of the Live Performance FLLOYD KENNEDY [email protected] The performance of Shakespeare in Australia has changed greatly in style and interpretation as cultural and social attitudes have shifted over the 250 years since European settlement. This is evident in the way the actors use their voices, which reflects the changing nature of training practices and performance styles over time, but more importantly reveals Shakespeare’s performed language as the expression of those specific actors in their own specific time. Examining two productions from the latter part of the twentieth century, a period that witnessed a burgeoning of Australian cultural identity, and subjecting them to the aural equivalent of a close reading, I demonstrate how it is not the accent, but the vocal quality of the actor that is crucial. Keywords: Shakespeare, Macbeth, Hamlet, performance, voice, meta-performativity, performative force O, how wonderful is the human voice! It is indeed the organ of the soul? The intellect of man sits enthroned visibly upon his forehead and in his eye; and the heart of man is written upon his countenance. But the soul reveals itself in the voice only; as God revealed himself to the prophet of old in the still, small voice; and a voice from the burning bush. The soul of man is audible, not visible. A sound alone betrays the flowing of the eternal fountain, invisible to man!1 The human voice is a conundrum, a contradiction, and as Longfellow observes, a revelation: the self, if not the very soul, of the speaker made audible.2 It is material, yet invisible; tangible yet permeable; private and yet public.
