Little Theatre puts on Williamson play

Woy Woy Little Theatre will present a contemporary Australian drama with a satirical edge at the Peninsula Theatre later this month.

David Williamson's Operator will be performed from July 23 to August 8.

The theatre production tells the story of Jake, a young, charming and go-getter who is the ideal candidate for an executive position with a thriving local company.

According to theatre group publicity officer Mr Patrice Horne: "He is welcomed aboard by his hard-working boss, the company's smug CEO and Melissa, Jake's co- worker who has all the intelligence, industry and integrity Jake lacks.

"But Jake has a secret weapon. His skills at exploiting, manipulating and manoeuvring would put Machiavelli in the shade.

"He's the Operator."

Directed by Christine Vale, the cast includes Greg Buist, Bob Farmer, Paul Russell, Sara Kelly, Liz Grenier and Patrice Horne.

"David Williamson is one of Australia's most successful playwrights," Ms Horne said.

"David's prolific work encompasses film, television and the theatre and focuses on themes of politics, loyalty and family in contemporary urban Australia."

Tickets are available from the box office starting at $6 for Under-16s, $20 for concession and $23 for adults.

For bookings contact the box office Monday to Friday 10am to 2pm from July 12 on 4344 4737.
