"HOME, I'M DARLING" - only a few seats left for our final performances.
Yet another glowing review follows from one of our happy audience members:
"Noosa Arts Theatre continues in its ability to present professional standard shows in a community theatre. What a treat it was to see the latest production “Home, I’m Darling”, directed by Tania Nash.
It took me right back to early childhood life in the 50s, with all its nostalgia, while at the same time reminding us all of the drawbacks that people had to deal with in those days, and the narrowness of the cultural beliefs we grew up with. Funny, moving and challenging stuff.
I loved the play and the great performances by all the cast, enhanced by a terrific set, with entertaining and unique scene changes. Under the firm and patient leadership of Stage Manager David Hill, the back stage and tech experts did a flawless job. Lovely costumes that make you want to jive, and music that made me want to break into song. Wonderful job, Tania.
There are a few more chances to get to see it. If you attend the last matinee, I will see you there. I can’t wait to see it again."

"HOME, I'M DARLING" is continuing to wow the audiences. Just read this fantastic review from Mary Atkins.
If ever there a play that found its ultimate directorial home, it is ‘Home I’m Darling,’ written by Laura Wade. Directed by Tania Nash. Starting its run on the 12th September at Noosa Arts Theatre. I was one of the fortunate to see the final dress rehearsal last evening. Quite simply it is a triumph of theatre experience.
Deb Ellison, (Judy) in the lead role as the wanna-be-‘50’s housewife. She held us captive from the moment she came on stage conjuring up a nostalgic, ‘smashing’ (‘50’s favourite word for brilliant) performance. Lead she is, in every sense of the word, we were enchanted by her Judy and the delicious energy she brought to every aspect of her role including her physicality of a tidy rock and roll. I have to add here that Deb, being centre stage throughout the play, executed so many changes of gorgeous swirling skirt frocks without breaking a sweat or losing her centre stage presence. Sean McDermott in the role as her husband (J***y). I was searching for words here to say how invested I was in his portrayal of the husband, and you know what it boiled down to, one word AUTHENTIC, I purposely used upper case here because his performance took me to a higher level of the comprehension of his character. Also, his ability to eat and act – I would imagine a not easy ask of any actor. Sepi Burgiani (Fran) a pivotal character as was Sam Saunders (Marcus) who played Frans husband. Both actors wove into this tapestry of theatre with outstanding performances. Their portrayal of their characters stood shoulder to shoulder with all in this stellar ensemble. I love how even in the scene transitions they stayed in character not letting us lose our focus on the narrative for a nano second. Alison Venning (Sylvia), a tour de force as the mother, in her arsenal of a memorable performance was her ‘50’s soliloquy. It’ll stay with you I promise. The last in this mix of superb casting is Poppy Benaud (Alex). I just have to ask is Poppy a real estate agent in real life because if not she did a magnificent job of convincing me. A lively-lovely-touchy-feely performance – you have to see the play to see the nuances of her character.
Then of course is the set. Hats off to the team who constructed the perfect retro set and another acknowledgement of the dedication of the director for the choices made. A bumper bouquet to Margaret Courtney for the impeccable ‘50’s wardrobe and accolades to the sound and lighting team.
I was a young woman in the 1950’s so the frilly-apron-bondage was my milieu and what strikes me about this production is the attention to each and every detail. Hand over heart I can say it well and truly passes muster. I don’t know if you can still get seats but trust me, no procrastination, you don’t want to miss it.
