11-28 May 2017 Lab Kelpie Presents SPENCER A NEW AUSTRALIAN WORK BY KATY WARNER PRESENTED BY LAB KELPIE 11-28 MAY 2017 LAB KELPIE PRESENTS SPENCERA NEW AUSTRALIAN WORK BY KATY WARNER WORLD PREMIERE 11-28 MAY 2017 CHAPEL OFF CHAPEL Playwright Katy Warner Director Sharon Davis Performers Lyall Brooks Jamieson Caldwell Jane Clifton Fiona Harris Roger Oakley Lighting & Set Designers Rob Sowinski Bryn Cullen Production & Stage Manager Adam Fawcett Marketing Images Pier Carthew Producer Adam Fawcett Presenter Lab Kelpie #SpencerLK labkelpie.com/spencer Lab Kelpie acknowledges we are performing on the traditional land of the Boonwurrung and Wurundjeri people. We pay our respects to them and their cultures; and to elders both past and present. Spencer was made possible through the support of: A NOTE FROM THE PLAYWRIGHT KATY WARNER: ON FAMILY We grew up with this thing called the Diddy Drawer. Your family probably called it something else. The Diddy Drawer is the third drawer down in the kitchen. A miscellaneous wonder of bits and pieces that don’t fit anywhere else. A notepad, some elastic bands, a tiny screwdriver, a bit of gift wrap that was too nice to throw away, a novelty keyring. The top drawer is for cutlery. Under that are the utensils; tongs, spatulas, wooden spoons. Then the diddy drawer and then the bottom drawer, for the al-foil and the cling-wrap. That’s the way it is. And when I moved out I arranged my kitchen drawers the same way. So did my siblings. I think family is a lot like that Diddy Drawer. All these disparate bits and pieces that somehow end up in this one place … together … A Family. My family keeps tomato sauce in the fridge and has this joke about gazelles which you wouldn’t get, sorry, and we fight and argue and sometimes we are really awful to each other and sometimes we are hilarious and there are tears (usually mine) and bad dancing (usually mine) and bad jokes (usually Dad’s) and they are the first people I call with news (good or bad) and we have each other’s backs, always, and you can’t talk about my sisters or brother like that because they’re my best friends. We are contradictory and cruel and loving and loyal. They are the people I run back to in time of crisis. Because you’re forever the child. No matter how old you get. I am lucky. Not everyone has that Diddy Drawer. Messy, unwieldly and often taken for granted until you really need something from it. This one’s for you, Warners. A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR SHARON DAVIS: ON SPENCER On the surface, Katy has written a play about a very specific family, with very specific interests, living in a fairly specific socio-economic suburb of a football loving city. However, remove the football, social and cultural trappings, and the classic suburban 3 bedroom house, and she’s created a family that is awkwardly familiar. In unpacking Spencer, I was aware of a societal storytelling that mythologises family, childhood, siblings, and parents into a fairly narrow binary; loving and supportive or dysfunctional and destructive. But it’s the in between - where many of us live - that’s full of all the complexity, drama, and humour required for a good play. Crisis, camaraderie, upheaval, disappointment, and chaos, shape our experience and we often find ourselves playing a role whether it be protector, black sheep, clown, victim, hero, or captain. Familial love is not a clear, straight line. It can be brutal and too honest. Parents can be difficult and selfish while still loving you more than they can say. Siblings are often the ones that draw first blood and their casual taunts linger far longer than that scar you got from riding your bike head first into the tow bar of the caravan (remember that Mum?!). You complain about their frustrating flaws but will passionately defend them to anyone who dares agree with you! We all have a unique story but I am relieved to hear familiar refrains in other people’s family tales that make me think that messy and wayward love might just be ok, if not normal, and certainly worthy fuel for good theatre. I could not have wished for a more able, compassionate, playful, and intelligent cast. They make for a pretty daunting family and it has been my honour to be an observing member of the Prior family for a moment. I’m incredibly proud to be working with Lab Kelpie. Huge thanks to Adam and Lyall for trusting me to direct this show and their exceptional work to get us here, and to the vastly talented and generous Katy Warner for sharing Spencer with me. Finally, thank you to my own fabulous, funny, flawed, and frustrating family. All I am and choose to be is because of you. So, you know, all of this is your fault. POZIBLE HALL OF FAME Spencer was the recipient of MATCH, a funding program by Creative Partnerships Australia that matched every dollar donated to the Pozible campaign we ran in May 2016. Through the support of our beloved donors below and this funding program, we managed to raise over $14,000 towards the presentation of this brand new work. Please give it up for our donors!

  • Jesus, Queen of Heaven by Jo Clifford
    Theatre works And BEN ANDERSON present THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO JESUS, QUEEN OF HEAVEN BY JO CLIFFORD 30 APR - 8 may THEATRE WORKS 14 ACLAND STREET, ST KILDA THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO WRITER’S NOTE | JO CLIFFORD When I first wrote and performed Queen Jesus in Glasgow, back in 2009, I was afraid people JESUS, QUEEN might find her dull. I was wrong about that. OF HEAVEN I was very frightened and distressed by all the hatred she inspired back then. Hatred that came in from all over the world. 30 APR - 8 mAY But the hate taught me her words mattered and I should work to keep her alive. THEATRE WORKS So I did. And I discovered that performing her was a powerful act of resistance against the 14 ACLAND STREET, ST KILDA shame and fear that had possessed me since the time I was a child and knew that I wasn’t a boy. A shame that touches everybody. Because none of us quite measure up to the gender we’re supposed to be. And since then she’s helped many others resist in so many places in the world. All over the UK, all over Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Cabo Verde, Belfast, Brussels and Berlin. And here she is incarnate in the magnificent Kristen Smyth and opening in Melbourne. That is so wonderful. And opening to the same hatred, expressed in the same words, as in Glasgow. Because hatred cannot change. But love… love is creative. Love changes everything… DIRECTOR’S NOTE | KITAN PETKOVSKI I can still recall the emotional mess that I was upon reading Jo Clifford’s The Gospel According to Jesus, Queen of Heaven.

Hungry Ghosts was commissioned with the support of the Joan & Peter Clemenger Trust.
