Season Two from Ipswich Little Theatre
‘From Here to Eternity? -Two One Act Plays’, is the next season offered by the Ipswich Little Theatre. ‘Tracks’ by Peter Tarsi is directed by Martie Blanchett, an accomplished actor. This is her debut directing role with Ipswich Little Theatre and she is assisted by Jim Orr, known for his many roles as an actor and director. ‘God Goes to a Shrink’, by Brisbane playwright Hugh O’Brien is the second play on offer, directed by Tracey Spence, another well-known and accomplished actor also debuting as a director, assisted by Chris Austin-Greenhill, a renowned actor and director with ILT.
‘Tracks’ opens with a group of strangers in a dirty subway station. They have arrived with limited personal belongings; their watches have stopped, and they all claim to be in different cities. Soon they learn there is no way out of the station. They reflect upon their lives, recalling and confessing past deeds of which they are not proud, hoping to figure out why they are there. As the subway train finally approaches, they must decide whether to stay and ponder their actions further, or to have faith and climb aboard.
This is a play that will leave you thinking far beyond the final curtain.
‘God Goes to a Shrink’ is a quirky comedy involving God, disguised as a female shop assistant, who seeks help from an atheist psychologist along with his not too bright receptionist. ‘Messiah Monday’ has never been so real……or is it?
Both plays are rated PG with some adult themes.
