OLIVER TWIST |
|
| Harbour Theatre’s final production for 2009 is the well-known tale of the orphan Oliver and his struggle to survive against the odds. Set in Dickensian London, we chart Oliver’s progress through the wretched hive of scum and villainy that abounds at every turn. Jeremy Brock’s adaptation combines the richness of the story – sinister antics from the mellifluous sounding Fagin; comic pomposity from the Workhouse Beadle, Mr Bumble ; and the horror of Nancy’s brutal murder at the hands of Bill Sikes – with dramatic and up-to-date pace. |

Elsie and Norm's Macbeth |
|
| Following the success of the highly acclaimed “Office Hours”, Susan Lynch who has been nominated for Best Supporting Actress and Best Director in the 2009 Finley Awards, returns to Harbour Theatre directing the wickedly irreverent contemporary comic send up of Shakespeare’s great play, ELSIE AND NORM’S MACBETH written by John Christopher-Wood.
Fed up with playing Trivial Pursuit and watching re-runs of Dynasty and Murder She Wrote, Yorkshire couple Elsie and Norm decide to go for a bit of culture and stage some Shakespeare in their living room. Of course, it needs a bit of re-writing to liven it up, and it’s a bit of a push with just the two of them playing all those characters – but it’s all worth it for one of the greatest pieces of literature “wot has ever been wrote in the English language!”
“It is a great pleasure to be back at Harbour again and with such talented actors playing these demanding roles” says director Susan Lynch. “ To be able to switch in and out of up to 14 characters as well as change their accents and still remain convincing is challenging however, these actors excel”
Featuring the enormous talents of both Ann Speicher from Mosman Park as Elsie and Michael Dornan from Beaconsfield as Norm this is hilarious evening of irreverent humour, presented by Harbour Theatre, Fremantle’s only and original community theatre since 1963.
