Little Theatre production opens

Woy Woy Little Theatre's production of After the Ball opens this week.

It is written by David Williamson and directed by Fran Kendall

After the Ball is described as a frank, critical look at Australian suburban life from the 1960s to the 1990s.

It traces the aspirations, the disappointments and the realities that test family life at a time when social change has never been more bewildering, and makes a plea for reconciliation.

The play tells the story of Stephen and Judy, brother and sister, whose lifestyles and outlooks could not be further apart.

When they are reunited at the bedside of their dying mother, family memories painfully and mercilessly return.

David Williamson has created a family scenario that is frighteningly recognizable.

Performances are at the Peninsula Theatre at 8pm on Fridays March 14, 21 and 28, Saturdays March 15, 22 and 29, and at 2pm on Sundays March 16, 23 and 30.

Bookings may be made at the Olympic General Store, Blackwall Rd, Woy Woy, or by telephone on 4341 4067.

Woy Woy Little Theatre will hold auditions for "Murdered to Death", written by Peter Gordon and directed by John Hickey, on Tuesday, April 8, and Thursday, April 10.

They will be held at 7.30pm at Woy Woy Public School

The cast will consist of five males, four females
