The Review - THEATRE by CLARE FINNEY
Published: 31 July 2008
 
In the wings

ACTORS at The Drill Hall will dig deep in the forthcoming showing of Aristophane’s Lysistrata; a tale of female bravery that has been given a ­modern makeover by 18 to 25-year-olds from the Talawa Theatre Company.
Classic and comical, but with the intense energy of young talent, these are youths that make love – not war. From August 7-9.

ACTIONS speak louder than words this October as The Australian Ballet joins the Aboriginal group Bangarra Dance Theatre in a groundbreaking musical venture.
The result, Rites, hopes to master through music what years of political talks have struggled to achieve.
Transcending the boundaries of western and indigenous ­cultures, this “down under” version of ‘East meets West’ is proof that even time-honoured arts can benefit from new forms.
Dancing alongside it is The Australian
Ballet’s critically acclaimed interpretation of Leonide Massine’s Les Presages, set to Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony. Written in Russian, premiered in Paris and now adapted by Australians – the story one man’s ­struggle with love, desire and destiny has universal appeal.
From October 7-11 at Sadler’s Wells.

WAKING up hungover, with no memory, no wallet and no trousers is enough to make anyone’s hair curl – never mind the dog’s. Yet this is exactly the situation that Keith, the protagonist of the Rosemary Branch Theatre’s latest offering, finds himself in.
Directed by Anna Cusack, the intriguingly titled Hair of the Dog runs from July 31 to August 2.
