Let s see how it ends up as a film script. The rehearsed reading of , Christine Madafferi s screenplay will be on at Cinema Nova on Tuesday June 5 th at 6.30pm. Bookings 9349 5201. An original script from Melbourne-based playwright Angela Costi is Platform Youth Theatre s latest production, called Shimmer. While it is a modern-day story, it was conceived as a result of Costi s research into young women, but also with the ancient Greek myth of the Danaids in mind.
Shimmer looks at the lust for fame and the price that is sometimes paid to achieve it.
It s on from June 7 th at the Uniting Church Hall in Northcote. The Boys was a great critical success. Set over a 24-hour period in Australian suburbia, it dealt with issues of abuse, class and rape, and featured a menacing David Wenham and John Polson. Now the original play is being performed in Melbourne, apparently for the first time. Hoy Polloy Theatre have taken it on, and are currently performing it at the Organ Factory in Clifton Hill until this weekend.
