In this dark, disturbing and bloody comedy three loveless milliners [hat makers] escape their boredom by creating aimless, fashionable, empty accessories.

Written by Ian Sinclair, whose previous work includes The Bearskinner (2009, The Blue Room Theatre), Acts of Undressing features live music written and performed live on-stage by talented jazz musician Marc Osborne. The stellar cast include respected Perth-based performer Brendan Ewing (Red Shoes, Antigone) alongside Fran Middleton (The Bearskinner), Gita Bezard (The Bearskinner) and Alissa Calessens (The Bearskinner). Directed by Kathryn Osborne (The Bearskinner, The Swallow-Tailed Coat, Oscar).

Female Transport at Old Mill Theatre

Use H3 tag to make a subheading

THE Old Mill Theatre is taking a trip back to 1807 at the end of April with a play set aboard a convict ship on its way to Australia.

Female Transport, directed by Hywel Williams, follows the story of six women convicts on their six-month journey aboard the Sydney Cove and their determination to survive the conditions below the decks.
Actor Phil Barnett, playing Sarge in the play, said that while Female Transport is classified as a drama there are plenty of lighter moments and earthy humour as the six women try to get the better of their captors.

Written by Steve Gooch in 1973, Hwyel Williams has taken on the job of directing Female Transport for the Old Mill Theatre, five years after he originally directed it for Phoenix Theatre.

Playwright Gooch is an experienced dramatist Steve and author of more than 40 scripts. His career as a writer and teacher includes stage plays, adaptations, radio and screenplays, as well as the popular series The Cut Shakespeare.
Joining Barnett in the cast are Kirstie Francis, Kyla Jones, Melissa Kiiveri, Jocelyn O’Neil, Kate O’Sullivan, Ariel Simone, Damien Nott, Adam Dear and Tim Prosser.

Female Transport plays at 8pm, April 23, 24, 28, 29, May 1, 5, 6, 7 and 8 with a 2pm matinee on May 2. Tickets are $20, $15 concession – book on 9367 8719.
