Lilydale Athenaeum Theatre
Barefoot in the Park
Season: April 20 – May 6.
Paul, a conservative lawyer, marries the vivacious Corrie, but their highly passionate relationship descends into comical discord in a five-flight New York apartment contending with a lack of heating, a leaky roof, several long flights of stairs, the oddball neighbour, the telephone repairman and Corrie’s well-meaning mother.
The Basin Theatre
Same Time Next Year
Season: Thursday April 20 – Sunday April 30.
Gala Opening: Friday April 21.
New Jersey accountant George Peters and Oakland housewife Doris meet at a Northern California inn in February 1951. They have an affair, and agree to meet once a year, despite the fact both are married to others and have six children between them.
Over the course of the next 24 years, they develop an emotional intimacy deeper than one would expect to find between two people meeting for a clandestine relationship just once a year. During the time they spend with each other, they discuss the births, deaths, and marital problems each is experiencing at home, while they adapt themselves to the social changes affecting their lives.
Burrinja Theatre
End of Winter
Season: Thursday March 30 at 7.30pm.
Will climate change erase leaving it to exist only in fairytales, paintings, and historical accounts? In hot bushfire-prone Australia our winters are becoming warmer and shorter. The End of Winter is about loss and resilience. It’s about the places one can search for cold weather – places that can be reached via public transport and imagination.
Don’t forget the 1812 Theatre’s production of The Shoehorn Sonata opening Thursday March 23 and closing April 22.
