Privates On Parade

Event Date: 12/02/2014, 07:30 pm

Young and innocent Private Steven Flowers is posted to Singapore to entertain the British troops.
Young and innocent Private Steven Flowers is posted to Singapore to entertain the British troops during the Malayan Emergency in 1948. As part of the ‘Song And Dance Unit South East Asia’ (SADUSEA), he finds himself in a company of military misfits.

The star of the troupe is flamboyant Captain ‘Auntie’ Terri Dennis, a civilian soldier who much prefers lipstick and a feather boa to a rifle and fatigues and delights in running the gamut of drag from Carmen Miranda to Marlene Dietrich to Vera Lynn. With a penchant for sailors and a heart of gold, he benevolently guides this group of shy, sexually inexperienced young lads, straight and gay, as they journey from boys to men, far from home fighting a ruthless enemy in a jungle guerrilla war.

Peter Nichol’s delightful coming-of-age comedy is underpinned by a darker and more poignant reality. Political themes of colonialism, revolution, homophobia and racism and personal stories of fear, loneliness and falling in love, are all served up in a camp concoction of songs, dance, blokes in frocks and very naughty laughs.

“Privates on Parade is like Apocalypse Now given the Kenneth Williams remix or Cabaret retold by Noël Coward … incredibly good fun” Time Out, London

PRIVATES ON PARADE is based on Peter Nichol’s own experiences of doing his National Service as part of an entertainment unit in Singapore (a unit which included Kenneth Williams of Carry On fame). The play won the prestigious Lawrence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy when in debuted in 1977. A film, starring John Cleese, soon followed, and it has enjoyed many revivals over the years since. New Theatre first produced the play in 1989; and in 2012, it was the inaugural production for the new Michael Grandage Company in London, with Simon Russell Beale in the bravura role of ‘Terri Dennis’.

Director Alice Livingstone has been involved in a number of past Mardi Gras productions, as either director, actor or producer, including Mother Clap’s Molly

Short Sweet And Theatre

Event Date: 13/02/2014, 07:30 pm

Short+Sweet - the festival of tasty short theatre bites
The annual festival of 10-minute plays opens 8 January running through to 3 March at the King Street Theatre, Newtown. The program changes weekly and plays Wed - Sat 7.30pm plus Sun 5.15. Plus the Wildcard performances: Sat 2:30pm, Sun 1pm and Mon at 7:30pm.

Theatre festival director Pete Malicki – taking the helm of his 3rd straight fest - said Short+Sweet was the biggest of its type in the world. This year it boasts 170 short plays – chosen from more than 1200 entries from all over Australia and internationally – and showcasing the talents of 320 writers and directors and more than 450 actors.

On display is the work of both seasoned professionals and talented newcomers – often in an explosive alchemical mix. This year Sydney also welcomes companies visiting from Malaysia and India where the international arm of Short+Sweet is already well-established.

Pete enthused about the networking opportunities such a festival offers artists as well as a door way to further fame - and sometimes even fortune!

"In 2009 when presenting my first Short+Sweet play I saw an amazing monologue by a young woman wrapped in bandages while talking about having sex with super villains.

“That actress was Steph Dawson who just recently landed herself a lead role as Annie Cresta in The Hunger Games."

Other Short+Sweet alumni include Rose Byrne and Brendan Cowell.

This year, the theatre festival runs in parallel during January to a Cabaret and Dance festival, just up the road at the New Theatre.
