Merelyplayers - Bringing All Creatives
Together
'Birth, Death and Everything Between'
Merelyplayers,
Sydney's most exciting and ambitious Creative Production
Company, will be opening its inaugural show 'Birth,
Death and Everything Between' at the famous TAP Gallery,
on Thursday 18th of March 2004.
This
extraordinary show combines a visual art exhibition
and a theatrical production featuring an ingenious
pastiche of dramatic and comic monologues, song, poetry
and literature: guiding the audience through the cycle
of life.
'Birth
Death and Everything Between' artfully brings all
visual art and theatrical works together, chronologically
charting the 9 major stages of life:
Ø
Birth
Ø Childhood
Ø Teens
Ø First Love
Ø Marriage and Family
Ø Mid-life
Ø Retirement
Ø Illness and Frailty
Ø Death
The
fantastic theatre production features a collection
of monologues, song and poetry: including works taken
from Foetal Attraction by Australia's Kathy Lette
and Melbourne's author Helen Garner's 'Our Mother's
Flood'. Thrown into this eclectic mix is a song by
Eric Idle of Monty Python fame, and WH Auden's famous
'Funeral Blues' which most recently featured in the
feature film 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'.
In
keeping with merelyplayers strong principles to support
Australian artists, 'Birth Death and Everything Between'
also features dynamic, original and so far un-published
works by new Australian writers: Vince Melton, Brett
Maverix and Alexia McIlroy-Kelly.
Directed
by merelyplayers' artistic director Bryan Cutts, 'Birth,
Death and Everything Between' features an eclectic
cast: Brett Maverix, Rachel McNamara, Cass Cummerford,
Kate Lascelles, Malcolm Forbes, Mary-Anne Halpin,
