THE MELBOURNE MONOLOGUES
17th – 22nd October
La Mama Courthouse, Carlton
THE MELBOURNE MONOLOGUES was the second production in our ‘Page to Stage 2017’ season. This was the third year of this popular monologue showcase, which was promoted as follows:
Prepare to be lifted up, held for a moment, then swept away.
There is nothing quite as satisfying as a beautifully written monologue. Close your eyes and just for a moment, imagine – that story could be yours. In the third year of this showcase, we are proud to present six brand new monologues by writers Anita Sanders, Bruce Shearer, Carmen Saarelaht, Katie Lee, Adele Shelley & Louise Baxter. Performed by the MWT ensemble. Directed by Elizabeth Walley. 60 mins.
The playwrights and actors who wrote and performed these six short plays were:
Katie Lee To Understand (performed by Ruth Katerelos)
Carmen Saarelaht No Feet (performed by Alec Gilbert)
Adele Shelley Girls’ School Delights (performed by Cosima Gilbert)
Bruce Shearer Garry (performed by Jack McGorlick)
Anita Sanders The Bystander is the Gatekeeper (performed by Karissa Taylor)
Louise Baxter Fairy Dust (performed by Celia Handscombe)
