Woy Little Theatre presents Natural Causes
- A black comedy by Eric Chappell, directed by Penny
Dilworth
Natural Causes was described on its release as a ‘highly
original comedy thriller, full of mistaken identities,
hilarious consequences and some great laughs’.
Vincent is a professional suicide merchant. Contracted
by Walter Bryce, he arrives at his country house and
mistakenly assumes that the potion was intended for
Walter’s consumption. It then becomes clear that
Walter’s wife Celia is the client - or is she?
Why are her suicide letters all typed and unsigned?
After several thwarted attempts to poison various characters,
will anyone actually manage to drink the potion

Wildie Creative Enterprises Pty Ltd presents Wish I’d Said That starring
Henri Szeps
Henri Szeps stars in his latest one-man show, which
proves that ‘all the world may be a stage’
but not everyone is a star. Joe Bleakley is a ‘retired’
actor who reached for the stars but never got much
further than mediocrity. Forced into the Foggadieu
Retirement Village by his daughter Valerie, Joe decides
that he will stage a performance for the other residents
and puts together a selection of his favourite speeches
from some of the great roles he never got to play.
We are treated to excerpts from King Lear, Teahouse
of the August Moon, and nuggets of wisdom from Neil
Simon, Eugene O’Neill and Oscar Hammerstein
II. In between we learn of Joe’s troubled relationship
with his daughter, his failed marriages and disappointment
at never having quite ‘made it’. All peppered
with humorous anecdotes, jokes, songs and observations
about life, family and getting older. “Not
only does it star crowd-pleaser Henri Szeps but its
gentlehumour and wry observations guarantee laughs
for audiences of a certain age” - Northside

Rowles the Final Bow Farewell Tour If
it wasn’t for Australia there wouldn’t
have been a ‘JA-AR’. Without JA-AR there
would never have been John Rowles, and for that the
New Zealand born entertainer is eternally grateful.
In 1964 a young ‘Maori Boy’ from New Zealand
arrived in Melbourne to perform on the Millers Circuit
in various show-bands. By 1966 JA-AR was a regular
on TV programmes like The Johnny O’Keefe Show
and Bandstand. It was however at the Coogee Bay Hotel
in 1967 where a chance meeting with Peter Gormley,
the Australian born manager of Cliff Richard and The
Shadows, set John Rowles on the road to London and
superstardom. Now on his 65th Birthday in March 2012,
Rowles returns to Australia to where his journey in
the Music Business began for a farewell tour.

Rowles and his full live band begin their Australian

dramatically change a young Wendy Matthews life forever.
Back to the present and Wendy is one of our most successful
female artists of all time. Glenn is, of course, the

It’s climbing the emotional mountain only to find
that there’s laundry at the top. It’s discovering
how powerful your love can be and how quickly
they grow up. It’s helping them find their way
and not losing yours. It’s about laughing and
crying, craziness and calm, smiles and tears . . . and
all before breakfast. “This is one of the most amusing musicals
I have been to in a long time. It is a wonderful production

SEASON 2012
A production by Christine Harris and HIT productions Diving for Pearls
by Katherine Thomson
This cleverly written play is set around the closure
of a steel mill in a coastal, industrial town, not
because the mill is inefficient or the company is
running at a loss, but because the site has become
valuable real estate.
Den, the quiet plodder, is facing an uncertain future
- hedoesn’t want to change - Barbara (his first
love) does. The problem is that her ambitions are
unrealistic. An exploration of hope, loss, ambition,
greed and the triumph of character in adversity, Diving
for Pearls is, at times confronting,
but with a very Australian humour that comes from
the difficult situations the characters find themselves
in, and the way they choose to deal with them. “… a strong sense of purpose and warmth…
enjoyable and life affirming...” - Arts Magazine.
Duration: 145 mins (includes 20 min interval)
Contains strong language and adult themes Adult $35, Conc. $30

A Critical Stages and Finucane and Smith Production The Flood by Jackie Smith
The sheep farm is dilapidated. The farm house, dark
and squalid, sits by the river. A life in wreckage,
a mad old lady, and her isolated hard-drinking daughter.
The memories are seeping through the floorboards. As
the sun sets, the flood waters rise. The screen door
bangs open in the wind and rain, and Catherine returns
home from London. Three women are now trapped in the
house - a mother and her two estranged daughters; one
who takes care of her, one who has been away for twenty
years. In one sleepless night a web of family history
unravels through dark humour, suspense and intrigue
in the haunting Australian outback.
“The best new piece of theatre I have seen this
year… See it. See it. See it.” – Aus

A CDP production Biddies by Don Reid
After CODGERS you told us it was time to hear from the
ladies. So move over Codgers, here come the Biddies!
Five ordinarily marvellous women find themselves back
in their infants school classroom plying their needles
in a good old-fashioned session of “stitch and
bitch”. Their confessions are frank, their rivalries
intense and their jokes outrageous. They discover a
common frustration with the limitations of being female
and mature in a world still largely defined by men.
Accidentally locked in the classroom, with nothing but
ingenuity, Adora Cream Wafers and a bucket to get them
through the crisis, unknown reserves come to the fore.
Released from their own constraints, they rediscover
their capacity to love, forgive - and take control.
If you can’t beat 'em, join 'em! Men see their
wives, adult children see their mothers, grandchildren
see Nana, and the mature Australian woman sees herself,
as some of our most beloved actresses bring this delightful
new comedy to life and laughter on the stage. You’ll
laugh till you cry. Vulnerable, feisty and in full bloom,
these gals are everything... except old! Adult
