19.01.2022 Colin Mockett's review is in for Rumors! Well done Cast and Crew! Buy/Beg or Steal a ticket now! http://www.entertainmentgeelong.com/colinmocke/Reviews.html... Frantic, helter-skelter 1970s comedy from the masters" Rumours directed by Kelly Clifford for Geelong Rep, Woodbin Theatre, Nov 18, 2016. First, a disclaimer. I’ve known Ed Dolista and his wife Kelly Clifford for decades and consider them both as good friends. I’m aware of their quirky fixation on the 1970s, and that decade’s music, films and fashions. So it was with a certain relish that I approached this Geelong Rep production of Neil Simon’s 1988-written, but 1970s-set Rumours, with Kelly in the director’s chair and Ed in a central character and set designer. That expectation was met fully by this near-perfect staging of 1970s comedy. For that decade’s predominant stage humourist, Neil Simon, has clearly found a spiritual home in Geelong. His one-off combination of sharp, dry New York one-liner wit with broad classic farce was staged with a care that bordered on passion in this production. Not a joke was missed, not a visual opportunity lost in what was a near-perfect execution of a master comedy work. And all was backed by Ed’s obsessive eye for 70s detail and Kelly’s neat, unobtrusively skilful direction. If this production had a drawback, it was surely the difficulty of shoe-horning a New York mansion on to the Woodbin’s compact stage. Quite clearly Simon’s work would have worked better in a larger space; it was designed to have wider distances between its hidden-behind-doors action that would allow plenty of classic farce-dashes. But by the second act, this show’s compression seemed to work in its favour by bringing the laughs closer together. Suddenly, this wasn’t laugh-a-minute broad comedy, this Geelong audience had geared up to laughter every twenty or thirty seconds. The show’s plotline had New York’s deputy mayor hosting a tenth wedding anniversary celebration with a gathering of friends and colleagues. But when the first guests arrived, they found his wife missing, so too the servants - and their host had attempted to shoot himself whilst under the influence of sleeping pills. Once this had been established - within the first five minutes of the play - the guests panicked efforts to limit any perceived media damage revealed ever more secrets and rumours with escalating laughter at every turn. Central to the mayhem was Ed Dolista’s frantic lawyer and his vulnerable wife, played with brittle timidity by Jenn Stirk. Their agitation was mirrored then uplifted by the arrival of Scott Popovic’s tax accountant with his acid-tongued wife, played by Mandy Calderwood. He’s prone to panic, she’s dryly cynical. Both were beautiful studies in comedic timing. Then came Nick Addison and Simone Clarke. He an accident-prone psychiatrist, she a jaded TV cook with a crook back, both neatly portrayed. These were followed by smooth would-be politician Jonathan Evans with his beautiful but obsessive wife Marja Le Hunt. All of these characters were fleshed out and adorned with comedic gems before the arrival of two police officers, played in authentic style and uniforms by Brendan O’Halloran and Luke Murphy. This duo brought the whole swamp of lies and illusions to a brilliant climax (from an almost joyfully out-of-control Scott Popovic) that stopped the show with a burst of spontaneous applause amid the laughter-filled auditorium. And then the play moved on sweetly to yet another comic twist ending. This Geelong Rep Rumours was a helter-skelter, refreshing, frantically funny farce that was expertly, lovingly staged by an obviously caring team. I recommend you see it - and definitely recommend that you get in quick for tickets. - Colin Mockett

01.01.2022 Auditions Idiot- Or the Most Controversial Movie Ever Made. Presented by JustGo Theatre. Idiot- Or The Most Controversial Movie Ever Made- is an original play written by local professional author Max Davine.... It is courtroom comedy inspired by the events surrounding the 1981 film Cannibal Holocaust, which saw film's director arrested for alleged crimes committed on film and used in the movie. There will be four performances taking place at Shenton Theatre on October 6, 7 and 8 with rehearsals starting in the first week of August. The play will be produced by Derek Ingles and directed by Stephen Macklin. The current cast includes Georgia Chara (Wentworth, Neighbours, Home and Away) Luke D'Emanuele (Utopia, Neighbours, Rush) and local theatre actors Brad Beales and Marja LeHunt. There are two roles still to be cast: Rugrero Fellinini- Italian Film director hailed for his ground breaking artistic works, he is also misogynistic and racist, to name just a couple of his less endearing qualities. His English is quite poor and a thick Italian accent is required. Aged from early 30's to early 50's Tristan Keaton is a young actor in his fourth year at the New York Actor's Studio, and saw his lead role in this film as his big break. During his time on the courtroom stand, his outwardly calm and compassionate demeanour falls away to reveal to reveal someone far less empathetic. Aged mid-late 20's Auditions will be held on Sunday July 17th If you would like to audition send an email to [email protected] or phone Derek Ingles on 0450-471-963 Regards, the JustGo Theatre team!
