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.

  • Strange Interlude

    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.
