SELKIE

by

FINN O'BRANAGÁIN

Festival Fatale - Eternity Playhouse

29 October 2016

 

Mythical beings that exist as seals in the ocean, Selkies can shed their sealskins and be like humans on land. Rónnad finds herself trapped on the beach in human form, and taken in by Séan, who promises to look after her. She doesn't fit in with human life, and she feels the pull of the tide calling her back home. A visual feast, this production of Selkie is a provocative yet tender work that explores intimate partner emotional abuse through the lens of 'the other' and the cultural assimilation that can happen in relationships - where Rónnad is loved, but owned.

"A lyrical and powerful statement to the need for relationships to represent the acceptance of the realities of each soul, not be configured by greed or expectations. Gorgeous!"

The Wasp

by

Morgan Lloyd Malcolm

Sydney Fringe - September 2016

Reviews-

★★★★ ‘a polished, powerful thriller. By turns heartbreaking, uncomfortable and comedic, it’s a truly impressive production.' 

The Buzz From Sydney

'It’s like Freeman and James were born to play these roles...

...almost too delicious to review'

Talking Arts


“Heather and Carla haven’t seen each other since school. Their lives have taken very different paths - Carla lives a hand-to-mouth existence while Heather has a high-flying career, husband and beautiful home. And yet, here they are in a cafe having tea and making awkward conversation. That is until Heather presents Carla with a bag containing a significant amount of cash and an unexpected proposition…”

Like Whiskey on the Breath of a Drunk You Love /lunch

by

Andrew Bovell/ Steven Berkoff

The Old Fitz - July 2015

Review from Weekend Notes-

‘…a night of lust, regret and infidelity at the bar…

…to tap into the collective psyche of 2 couples cheating on each other's partners was a pretty good blood rusher for a Wednesday night… 

…Both plays were a great way to break up the week, and credit goes to Natalie Freeman, Edric Hong, Nicola James, Yannick Lawry for simply pulling off amazing line on top of line during Like Whiskey on the Breath of a Drunk You Love, which was delivered really well.’

 

Review from Sydney Arts Guide-

‘…LIKE WHISKEY ON THE BREATH OF A DRUNK YOU LOVE is the evening’s appetizer and intertwines two scenes of betrayal and seduction. 

…The doubt, the guilt, the frisson of the forbidden, the vice like grip of vice, explored in pungent, pacey jigsaw puzzle dialogue.

From Bovell to bovver boy Berkoff, the second course is a lithe and limber lewd show with all the pyrotechnic theatrical poetics the East End Bard has built his reputation on...’
