In a change of pace, the Uki Moon Theatre are excited to announce their first production for 2024 – the comedic trio of plays, Summer of Harold, by award-winning playwright Hilary Bell and directed by Penny Irving.
World-premiering at the Ensemble Theatre in Sydney in 2023, Summer of Harold explores the poignancy of the mundane life through the transformative power of everyday objects in a trio of plays about the adventurous, passionate and hopeful nature of life.
Summer of Harold recreates a memory of Janet from 1984 when she and fellow backpacking friend, Alison, score summer jobs as housekeepers for the 20th century’s foremost British playwright, Harold Pinter. Within the tightly controlled Pinter household, will these Aussie girls flop or triumph?
In Enfant Terrible, Gareth, who is returning from an awards ceremony, which has whipped him into an obsessive jealousy of a rival ceramicist, is forced to reconsider his brash actions on the night.
In Lookout, Joan and Rae are ascending to a picturesque Blue Mountains lookout – they take a moment to reflect on the past before making some life-changing decisions.
Performance are Fridays and Saturdays, 10, 11, 17, 18, 24 and 25 May at the Uki Town Hall at 7pm. Tickets are available now at: www.trybooking.com/CQEVP.
