Melvyn Morrow’s new Australian play
Gala Opening Night!

"There are many twisted strands to the hangman’s rope."

A sexually precocious north shore private schoolboy, a vice-principal out of his depth, his flirtatious drama teacher wife, a gay trustee at the centre of rumours,
a ruthlessly ambitious department head and an old boy senior counsel…

These are just some of the explosive ingredients in the powder keg that is Melvyn Morrow’s
new Australian play, VICE, opening for a limited season at King Street Theatre, Newtown from 21 April.

In the context of the current inquiries into the shameful and criminal tragedy of sexual assault in schools,
VICE provides a disturbing window, looking through a dark lens at the maze of motivations
swirling around the underworld of staff and students.

Morrow (her holiness, A Song to Sing O, Dusty, Shout! among dozens of plays and adaptations)
ought to know his subject well: for over forty years he taught English and directed plays
in independent schools in Australia, England and France.

“Truth, like quicksilver, can be slithery. VICE will certainly divide audiences,” says Morrow.

“What you see on a glossy travel brochure and the reality you discover once you’ve reached the
destination can often be poles apart. It’s the same with schools."

VICE is directed by Elaine Hudson (STC’s The Crucible) and stars Jonathan Deves (St James Infirmary), Margi de Ferranti (Ruthless, Carrie), Roger Gimblett (The Winslow Boy), Christopher Hamilton (The Hatpin, Les Miz), Jess Loudon (The Big Funk) and Ben McCann (The BIG MAKado) as the schoolboy at the centre of the maelstrom.

Emu Productions presents VICE by Melvyn Morrow, directed by Elaine Hudson:

Ali McGregor In Alchemy

Event Date: 22/04/2015, 08:00 pm

One of Australia's most successful cabaret exports!
Ali McGregor, the soprano who ran away with the circus has gone on to become one of our most successful cabaret exports.

Fresh from sell out tours of arts festival’s around the world, an ARIA nomination and a starring role in critically acclaimed Club Swizzle at the Opera House, Ali now brings her award winning show to Hayes
Theatre Co for one week from 21 to 26 April.

In 2005, after 5 years as a principal soprano with Opera Australia, Ali crept out of a sumptuous production of Manon into the Famous Spiegeltent in Melbourne and performed her arias to a rapturous late-night crowd of revelers. She then joined the sideshow burlesque ‘La Clique’ (that went on to become La Soiree) and travelled the globe lending her considerable vocal prowess to the burgeoning cabaret scene. She has gone on to release three studio albums (including the 2014 ARIA nominated JAZZAMATAZZ!), performed and won awards at international festivals in Edinburgh, Adelaide, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney and London and is fast becoming one of the most well respected members of the international Caberati.
In Alchemy, Ali merges her first two musical loves – jazz & trashy pop music. She draws on all of her influences from opera, cabaret, cock rock and questionable 80s divas for inspiration. Working alongside the finest jazz musicians, she creates unique hybrids from popular songs, standards and blues.
Expect to hear unique mashups and genre-defying versions of Madonna, Salt ‘n Pepa and Kiss, as though they were sung by a 40s siren in a Las Vegas jazz club.

“Sophisticated & effortlessly chic” The Scotsman, UK “Cabaret gold”
-Adelaide Advertise

“McGregor’s voice is phenomenal”
-The Telegraph, UK

“...sparkles with sexy playfulness, moving simplicity and a beautiful warm tone.”
-The Age

“Do not operate a chainsaw while under the influence of alcohol.
When working in a mob-run comedy club/steakhouse in Ohio, Rick Cleveland gained his inspiration for this play.

For years he had been friendly with a couple of “regular guys”, introduced by the club’s owner as liquor salesmen or “associates”, who hung out at the bar, told jokes, brought their wives in for steak dinners and argued about the relative merits of their lawnmowers.

In short they were guys with good solid family values. When Cleveland later learned that they had been convicted of the gangland killing of the club owner and another associate he saw them rather differently.

At the same time the original idea came to him of a play about a couple of guys with good solid family values who just happened to be hitmen.

Dates and Location:
The Craftsman’s Bar, The Exchange Hotel, 94 Beattie Street, Balmain.
April 9,12,13,14,15,16,19,27,28,29,30 (Mon - Thurs 8.00pm, Suns 6.00pm, special fundraiser Tues April 14 for the new Survivorship Centre at Concord Hospital.)
