President’s Welcome<br />

Welcome to <strong>Canberra</strong> Rep’s fantastic 81st season<br />

<strong>Canberra</strong> Rep has taken a new tack this year by announcing a 7 show season,<br />

<strong>the</strong> usual 6 shows in 2013 and <strong>the</strong> fi rst for 2014. This is to enable <strong>the</strong> launch to<br />

happen a little earlier so actors and directors have more time to prepare and<br />

to take <strong>the</strong> pressure off o<strong>the</strong>r year-end activities. There is an exciting array of<br />

offerings with some outstanding directors lined up for this season.<br />

As you are aware, <strong>the</strong> 2013 <strong>Season</strong> opens with <strong>the</strong> witty and moving true<br />

story Calendar Girls by Tim Firth based on <strong>the</strong> Miramax motion picture by<br />

Julliette Towhidi and Tim Firth. Ca<strong>the</strong>rine Hill returns to direct this wonderful<br />

play where middle-aged Annie Clarke loses her husband to leukemia and her<br />

best friend suggests a—ahem—cheeky new way to raise money for research.<br />

After last year’s huge success with Pride and Prejudice, Duncan Ley<br />

returns to direct REP’s second play of <strong>the</strong> season, Under Milk Wood, a<br />

1954 Radio Drama by Dylan Thomas that was later adapted to <strong>the</strong> stage.<br />

A journey through <strong>the</strong> dreams and innermost thoughts of <strong>the</strong> inhabitants of<br />

a fi ctional small Welsh fi shing village Llareggub (“Bugger all” backwards).<br />

Our third offering for <strong>the</strong> year is a return to REP’s tradition of variety shows<br />

with Jazz Garters: 4 A Century of Entertainment directed by Cate Clelland.<br />

The excitement generated by this type of <strong>the</strong>atre is not to be missed and<br />

will thrill all who venture to see it.<br />

Following on from his outstanding and award winning success, with The<br />

Pig Iron People in 2011, Aarne Neeme is back at REP to direct our fourth<br />

production, Don Parties On, a new play by David Williamson. It is <strong>the</strong><br />

sequel to <strong>the</strong> 1971 play Don’s Party, with <strong>the</strong> same characters 40 years on<br />

plus a few new arrivals and ano<strong>the</strong>r election!<br />

The friends have all aged and been affected by life’s experiences very<br />

differently over <strong>the</strong> decades. Views have polarised and diverged. This play<br />

is full of humour and surprises, a new classic and a fascinating comment<br />

on life from a boomer’s perspective.<br />

The Book of Everything by Richard Tulloch is <strong>the</strong> play based on <strong>the</strong> Dutch<br />

children’s novel Het boek van alle dingen by Guus Kuijer. REP’s fi fth<br />

<strong>Season</strong> play is a stunning tale of life as seen through <strong>the</strong> eyes of a child.<br />

The play relates <strong>the</strong> tale of a nine-year-old (nearly 10) boy named Thomas<br />

who sees things no one else can. Jarrad West will bring his many talents<br />

to <strong>the</strong> fore in directing this wonderfully insightful play that was awarded <strong>the</strong><br />

Gouden Griffel literary award in 2005.<br />

The fi nal play of 2013 follows REP’s tradition of <strong>the</strong> end-of-year farce.<br />

The Fox on <strong>the</strong> Fairway is a comedy by Ken Ludwig to be directed by Liz<br />

Bradley. The play has been touted as “Ludwig’s tribute to <strong>the</strong> great English<br />

farces of <strong>the</strong> 1930s and 1940s”, extremely funny and not to be missed.<br />

And fi nally to kick off 2014 with a bang, Jordan Best, one of <strong>Canberra</strong>’s<br />

very best young directors will direct a perennial favourite, Steel Magnolias<br />

by Robert Harling.<br />

We are delighted to have brought toge<strong>the</strong>r such a talented team of directors<br />

to compliment <strong>the</strong> fantastic array of shows for this season.<br />
