Birth,
Death & Everything Between - review by Radio Skid
Row
The
show rips open with a fast moving piece about an Aussie
woman (Kate Lascelles) in labour and the non joy of
being stuck in scruffy London hospital with foreign
nurses wishing you were back on a sunny Sydney beach.
A
beautiful eulogy by WH Aulden, is the final piece,
as a man receives the phone call that a loved one
has just died.
Everything
in between as the title implies is about the various
phases of life and the struggles of coming to terms
with getting laid, divorce, parents growing old and
the sometimes tragic results of having a good night
out partying.
The
show was extremely entertaining and the performances
very good. Peter McAllum was a stand out as he took
us along the journey of his life as a young shearer,
his marriage and unexpected divorce. Why did she leave
him? They seemed so happy. I wanted to know more.
Other
good performances were Felicity Ward and Kate Lascelles.
The
show has some good writing and it is always an immense
challenge to make simple story telling also theatrical.
Well done to the cast and director. I would recommend
this show to anyone that is looking for an entertaining
night out and I look forward to see what Merelyplayers
come up with next!
