The Rep Club’s recent season of one act plays, Theatre Triptych, has just concluded a very successful run, with all three plays being very well received by audiences.
John Morgan’s Kids, directed by David Holle and starring Emma Hart, Dylan Della Vedova, Mark Alexander, Michelle Leahy and Jenny Roodt provided actors and audiences alike with an entertaining and energetic performance. Don Liley’s innovative and enormous set design added greatly to the atmosphere of the play.
Last Post written by Gene McConnell, directed by Georgia Foulkes-Taylor, was beautifully performed by experienced actors Marie Molloy and Jennifer Nicholls. The play started out to engross the audience in a heartbreaking situation only to surprise in the second part of the play with a twist that was both amusing and shocking to the unsuspecting. The play was entertaining and surprising to the end.
Derek Drives a Datsun, written by Kate Mulvaney and directed by Stuart Fleming, pushed the boundaries of common theatre decency. It was not to all peoples taste in content, however no one could argue that the performance given by actors Donald Liley and Lauren Chapman-Holle was anything less than outstanding. The play’s content challenged the ideologies of those who believe that death is sacred and not to be made fun of. However, upon close inspection of the content, the play satirical inspection of life’s underworld was revealing and informing to the woes of those less socially fortunate.
In whole it was a hugely successful season of One Act plays. Congratulations to fabulous cast, crew and directors. Thank you to all those that came to support those involved.
