Tonight I am off to see Micro-Trip — seven brand new plays in 70 minutes!
All the plays are new work by emerging playwrights, some of whom are performing as well. They are:
Kale and Verona: a story of flatmates who may also be lovers
Grace: a black comedy about partying and loss
It’s Hot: an award winning screenplay about two con men adapted for the stage
Ten Commandments: a satire about Catholic confession
Moving Fast: something about politics and world domination
In the Park: a 30-something dating story
A Trip Down Brunswick: all about our very own Valley
It should be interesting — the producers, performers and special guest director Elise Greig are all long-established features of Brisbane theatre, talented artist Kitty Taube has designed the set, and composer Brian Cavanagh has lent his skills to the sound design.
A review will be here in a couple of days. In the meantime, see what the Courier-Mail and Australian newspapers have to say about it.
Micro-Trip is Part of Metro Arts' Independents 2007.
