FRIDAY By Daniela Giorgi
Event Date: 14/08/2013, 08:00 pm
Sizzling new Australian political satire FRIDAY heats up the Old Fitz.
Set in the legislature of a fictitious modern democracy, FRIDAY highlights democracy's precarious and precious nature, scrutinising the personal and political, and the paper-thin division between the two, delving into one of the greatest tensions in modern society: public responsibility versus private desires.
“Given the series of tumultuous political events in Australia in recent times, Giorgi’s funny and at times heartbreaking examination of the challenges and necessity of political engagement is both timely and very relevant,” said Julie Baz, director of FRIDAY and co-artistic director of SITCO.
SITCO’s production of Giorgi’s second full length play features a large ensemble cast including the renowned Gertraud Ingeborg (Street Car Named Desire, STC and US tour, Harlos Productions principal), David Ritchie (Wolverine, Beneath Hill 60, Harlos Productions principal), Adrian Barnes (The Mousetrap Australian tour, UK West End veteran) and Peter Hayes (Whitlam: the Power and the Passion, The Junction Boys). Performing alongside them are some of Sydney’s seasoned and emerging performers: Tim Cole, Jamie Collette, Sinead Curry, Justine Kacir, Emmanuel Nicolaou, Amara Pické, Cherilyn Price, Sarah Robinson and Gemma Scoble.
Set and lighting design is by David Jeffrey, co-artistic director of SITCO. The costume design is by Rachel Scane and the sound design is by multi-award winning composer, Sarah de Jong.
