Smith Street
at the Dolphin Theatre, UWA, from Thurs. 24 May - Sat, 26 May; Wed, 30
May - Sat. June 2. 8 pm.
Presented by students enrolled in Theatre Studies at UWA, and directed
by Steve Chinna, this will be the premiere of this newly written play.
A peepshow, a belltower, Tuscan Splendours, and dilapidated squats form
some of the scenarios of Smith Street (Between Heaven and Hell), a
colourful 'melodrama' interweaving fantasy and the 'real'. This new
play, written by poets John Kinsella and Tracy Ryan, with additional
material by Steve Chinna, explores the lives and politics of vigilantes,
prostitutes, pimps, dealers, politicians, tourists, cops, and local high
and low life who intermingle in a space between heaven and hell, where
naturalism moves to fantasy, prose to poetry, dialogue to song, and the
distinctions between law makers and law breakers are destabilised.
Full $15, Concession $10. Tickets: BOCS - (08) 9484 1133 or visit the
