The Last Tuesday Society proudly presents 'Pimp My Play', our premiere event for 2011.

Step 1: Take a boring old play.
Step 2: Divide up the scenes amongst the collaborating artists
Step 3: Put all the pieces back together in order
Step 4: Present theatrical equivalent of Frankenstein to horrified/delighted audience

Will a story get told? We don't know
Will the audience achieve catharsis? Probably not
Will Alison Croggon review it? No
Will it be an absolute shambles? er...
Will it be on the cover of Realtime? Only if we call it 'live art'.

The inaugural 'Pimp My Play' text will hereby be 'Blackrock' by Nick Enright.

That's right, you've seen the movie* you studied it in year eleven, it's more australian than a natural disaster. 

Presented by such theatrical ingenues as:

  • The List Operators 

  • The Sisters Grimm

  • Slow Clap

  • Poet Laureate Telia Nevile

  • Bron 'Batto' Batten

  • Tom Doig and Laura Jean McKay

  • Lachlan Tetlow-Stuart and friends

  • Zoey Dawson and Anna McCarthy

Hosted/narrated by Richard 'Higgo' Higgins

All tickets $10 bucks, tuesday the 22nd of march at 8pm sharp.

Presented at Studio 246 (rear of 246a Sydney Rd, Brunswick. Entry via Merri Street)

Come and witness the birth of theatre. Or the death of it. Either way, it's going to to be something. 

And not too long, we promise.

*The movie had Heath Ledger in it.
