Lip Service - Melbourne

Event Date: 12/07/2018, 07:30 pm

Melbourne girl makes good!
After a sell-out seasons in London and Sydney, John Misto’s comedy Lip Service, a play about the life and times of Melbourne entrepreneur Helena Rubinstein, comes to her home town from 11 July at The Lawler Theatre.
Misto brings two legendary entrepreneurs to life on stage with Amanda Muggleton as Rubinstein and Linden Wilkinson as Elizabeth Arden, her fierce competitor in the cosmetics industry. Septimus Caton plays Rubinstein’s minder.
Muggleton and Wilkinson return to the roles that brought them acclaim in the Australian premiere of Lip Service in Sydney at the Ensemble Theatre, a play critics applauded for its sharp humour and wit in many rave reviews.
In this hilarious new play, Misto writes of an imagined relationship between an elderly Rubinstein and Arden in 1950s and 1960s Manhattan, New York, where they battled for supremacy in the global beauty market they pioneered.
Reluctantly they are brought together to combat the threat of a new player on the scene, Charles Revson of Revlon cosmetics.
Based on her true story, Lip Service sees Rubinstein at the end of a business career that began in country Victoria before she opened her first glamorous beauty salon, Salon de Beauté Valaze, in Melbourne’s stylish Collins Street.
When she emigrated from Poland to Australia in 1902, Rubinstein settled in the west Victorian town of Coleraine with her shopkeeper uncles.
Rubinstein had no money and little English but she cashed in on her Polish mother’s recipe for face cream by sourcing local lanolin from the sheep grazing district in which she found herself living. She sold jars of her popular beauty product to local women and devised plans to build her business in the city.
From humble beginnings as a Polish-Jewish immigrant to Australia to the owner of a billion-dollar empire based in New York, Lip Service is the story behind one of the best-known names in the world of beauty.

4 + Viola

Event Date: 08/07/2018, 03:00 pm

Acacia Quartet with guest artist Emile Cantor, viola
International viola soloist Emile Cantor returns to Australia to join Acacia Quartet for national tour,
featuring a program of viola quintets by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Nick Wales and Antonin Dvorak.

The North Sydney concert by the thrice ARIA Award-nominated ensemble opens with Mozart's exquisite String Quintet in G minor K516, followed by Boomi's Ray by Australian composer Nick Wales. Closing this mouth-watering concert is Dvorak’s joyful String Quartet in E flat major Op 97.
Mozart’s G minor quintet was written during the final days of his father’s terminal illness and was completed just 12 days before Leopold’s death. Nick Wales is best known for his collaborations, notably with Sarah Blasko and the Sydney Dance Company.
Boomi’s Ray is a memorial, written to be played at the funeral of a friend.
Dvorák composed his E flat String Quintet during his summer vacation in Spillville, Iowa (which had a large Czech population) in 1893. Written around the same time as his famous ‘American’ quartet, it is believed to be a response to his witnessing the joyful 400th anniversary celebrations of Columbus’ arrival in the New World.

Roomba Nation

Event Date: 05/07/2018, 08:00 pm

Are you dying for technology?
Pippie finds herself in the ward from which patients don’t usually return.
A curious character, she torments the staff with her klepto tendencies while they argue about potential treatments, performing outrageous numbers of tests and scans on body parts we weren’t even aware of.
A crack team of care bots attend to her every need. They even provide the entertainment. How convenient!

The Doc will use any technological means to cure the next big disease that she is increasingly obsessed with diagnosing.
Nursie, the last of the human carers, struggles with the technological takeover and determines what Pippie really needs is not another robot.

Pippie has her own secrets though. In this medical wonderland of technological advancement, is she really sick or is she just… dying?

Roomba Nation plays at the Old 505 Theatre in Newtown from 4-21 July.
Conceived by Alison Bennett and Directed by Felicity Nicol, it stars Bennett as Pippie, Nick O’Regan as Nursie and Kate Walder as Doc.
David Kirkpatrick is Hurrah Hurrah’s multi-disciplinary artist and creator of the ‘bots’ with writing associate Moreblessing Maturure.
