THE IMPULSE COMPANY & INSCRIPTION present:
FROM THE PAGE TO THE STAGE: Three Readings by Impulse Company Actors
Sunday, August 29th, from 4pm at the Stables Theatre, Nimrod St, Darlinghurst
**FREE OF CHARGE**
On Sunday, 29th August, the SBW Stables Theatre will play host to a very exciting FREE event; ‘The Impulse Company’s Festival of New Writing.’ Audiences will be treated to an evening of staged readings with three new Australian plays being performed by Impulse Company Actors who have been trained by Scott Williams (Impulse Company Artistic Director) during his recent series of Sydney Workshops. Combining the dynamic performance style of The Impulse Company's training with the sharp, contemporary writing being practiced by these three local writers, this is an extraordinary one-off opportunity to share in the live performance of some brilliant new upcoming dramas.
The plays included in the Festival are: THE ICE SEASON by Verity Laughton. "An investigation of faith and fate, art, love and damage in the contemporary Western World" is how Ms Laughton describes her play, which concerns the events following the death of famed novelist, Thomas Allen. Verity Laughton's plays include The Lightkeeper, The Snow Queen, Burning, Carrying Light and The Mourning After. Her most recent large scale production was a puppetry adaptation of Patricia Wrightson's The Nargun and the Stars. THE ICE SEASON won the 2009 Inscription Open Award.
DEVIANT ART FOR THE DEGENERATE by Catherine Zimdahl. A play "about class and power, idealism and absolutism and the treachery of conformity," according to Ms Zimdahl. The story revolves around a young expressionist artist and the art world into which she's drawn into in Sydney, 1946. Ms Zimdahl's credits include the plays Clark in Sarajevo, Family Running for Mr Whippy, A Day Too Great, the children’s play The Rocky Road to Riches, and the adaptation of the classic novel Moonfleet. Her film script The Ego Trip is currently in development.
SLEEPING DOGS by Brenda Gottsche. Dr. Roz Collins, a popular radio psychologist, is just set to become the next Oprah Winfrey when troublesome 'sleeping dogs' awake and ransack her life. Brenda Gottsche's produced plays include The Balmain Jesus (originally developed by The Impulse Company in London as The Fulham Jesus), Hot Property and The Max Factor. She divides her time between Sydney and London, and is currently in pre-production for a film script based on The Fulham Jesus.
The performers include: Abigail Austin, Claudia Barrie, Angeline Bilas, Lindsay Chapman, Carolyn Eccles, Lucy Fry, Natalie Lund, Matt Minto, Dene Kermond, Jacqui Livingston, Kate Skinner and the performance will be directed by The Impulse Company's Artistic Director, Scott Williams.
There will be a 20-min interval between each reading and audience members are encouraged to stay for as many plays as they wish Tickets will be allocated on a RSVP system so please email all ticket requests to impulsecosydney@hotmail.com
SO PUT IT IN YOUR DIARY, GRAB A GROUP OF FRIENDS AND HEAD DOWN TO THE SBW STABLES THEATRE FOR A FANTASTIC EVENING OF NEW AUSTRALIAN WRITING, DYNAMIC, ENGAGING PERFORMANCES & FESTIVAL FUN IN THE NEWLY RENOVATED STABLES THEATRE.
