Herald Sun Entertainment Herald Sun 4/30/2015 Melbourne Theatre Company dominates Green Room Awards — but not for theatre | Herald Sun Entertainment Herald Sun Entertainment Melbourne Theatre Company dominates Green Room Awards — but not for theatre by: Sally Bennett arts editor From: Herald Sun April 20, 2015 10:30PM Share × Share this story Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Google Email 0 0 Madeleine Jones and Tom Parsons both won best actor awards for their roles in the musical “Once”. Picture: Eugene Hyland Source: News Corp Australia THE Melbourne Theatre Company has dominated this year’s Green Room Awards, announced http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/arts/melbourne-theatre-company-dominates-green-room-awards-but-not-for-theatre/story-fni0fcgk-1227312347021 1/10 4/30/2015 Melbourne Theatre Company dominates Green Room Awards — but not for theatre | Herald Sun tonight, but in an unexpected category. Instead of cleaning up the awards for theatre — where it was virtually snubbed — the company won eight awards in the musical category for its co­production of Once with John Frost, including best production, director and male and female leads. The MTC, which also won a dance award for its co­production with Chunky Move, tied with Opera Australia to be the two most successful companies with 10 gongs each. But our flagship theatre company came a distant fourth in the theatre category — behind the Malthouse Theatre, Bell Shakespeare and Red Stitch Actors Theatre — picking up only one award for sound design. It’s highly touted Neon Festival of Independent Theatre also managed only one award in the independent theatre category. Opera Australia’s “Eugene Onegin” won seven awards, including female lead for Nicole Car. Source: Supplied Last year marked a change of direction for the MTC as it invested more heavily in popular co­ productions, such as Once and the world premiere of The Speechmaker with the Working Dog team. Both were box­office winners. The recipients of this year’s 62 Green Room Awards, announced at the Comedy Theatre, were recognised for outstanding work in performing arts seen on Melbourne stages. Bell Shakespeare won the coveted award for best theatre production for Henry V; best actor went to Andre de Vanny for Red Stitch’s Glory Dazed, and best female actor went to Melita Jurisic for Malthouse Theatre’s Night on Bald Mountain. Opera Australia dominated its category, winning seven awards including best production, director, conductor and female lead for Eugene Onegin. It also picked up three musical awards for The King and I, another co­production with John Frost. But OA didn’t scoop the pool entirely. The Malthouse Theatre will be jubilant after winning two opera awards for its co­production of The Riders with Victorian Opera, a stage adaptation of Tim Winton’s http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/arts/melbourne-theatre-company-dominates-green-room-awards-but-not-for-theatre/story-fni0fcgk-1227312347021 2/10 4/30/2015 Melbourne Theatre Company dominates Green Room Awards — but not for theatre | Herald Sun novel. Best production went to Bell Shakespeare’s “Henry V”. Source: Supplied In the dance category, the Australian Ballet went home empty­handed, Chunky Move picked up three awards, and Bangarra Dance Theatre earned two. The popular and hotly contested cabaret category produced six different winners for six awards, including best artist Geraldine Quinn. The 2015 Lifetime Achievement Award went to Nance Grant, for her outstanding contribution to opera as a singer and teacher. Bangarra Dance Theatre’s “Patyegarang” won two awards. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/arts/melbourne-theatre-company-dominates-green-room-awards-but-not-for-theatre/story-fni0fcgk-1227312347021 3/10 4/30/2015 Melbourne Theatre Company dominates Green Room Awards — but not for theatre | Herald Sun Source: Supplied GREEN ROOM AWARD WINNERS 2015 CABARET Production Eurosmash Die Roten Punkte Artist Geraldine Quinn All Out Of Pride & MDMA: Modern Day Maiden Aunt Writing Ash Flanders Special Victim Musical Direction Jane Patterson Ginger & Tonic’s Desperate & Dateless Original Songs Andrew Strano and Loclan Mackenzie­Spencer Nailed It!

  • ONCE the 2021 REMOUNT by Arrangement with Music Theatre International (Australasia)

  • Strange Interlude
    Media Release April 2012 Belvoir presents Strange Interlude Written by SIMON STONE after EUGENE O’NEILL Director SIMON STONE Set Designer ROBERT COUSINS Costume Designer MEL PAGE Lighting Designer DAMIEN COOPER Composer & Sound Designer STEFAN GREGORY With AKOS ARMONT NICHOLAS BAKOPOULIS-COOKE EMILY BARCLAY MITCHELL BUTEL CALLUM McMANIS KRIS McQUADE ELOISE MIGNON ANTHONY PHELAN TOBY SCHMITZ TOBY TRUSLOVE BELVOIR ST THEATRE | UPSTAIRS 5 MAY – 17 JUNE An experimental play from the 1920s may not be the most obvious choice for inclusion in Belvoir’s strikingly contemporary season, but in the hands of Simon Stone theatre-goers will know to expect a radical interpretation of Eugene O’Neill’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play. In the vein of Stone’s The Wild Duck, a sell-out at both Belvoir and Melbourne’s Malthouse Theatre, Strange Interlude will be completely rewritten. Strange Interlude is one of the few modern plays to use soliloquy interwoven with the dialogue, revealing the characters’ inner thoughts; this technique will be maintained in the rewrite. Twenty-year-old Nina Leeds (Emily Barclay) has lost the love of her life in the war. Overcome with grief, she quits university, falls out with her father and moves away from home. What follows is an epic and compelling narrative that spans 25 years in Nina’s life, but the story is compressed into a series of heightened, life altering moments. The significance of each of these moments is revealed as the page-turning story unravels. The cast assembled for this production is truly stellar, with the luminous Emily Barclay as Nina and Mitchell Butel, Toby Schmitz and Toby Truslove as three men in her life, each vying for her attention and affection in his own way.
