Three River Theatre presents SUDAN & NO VELVET DIVORCE
A Duo of One Act Plays
TICKETS
https://theatrenorth.com.au/sudan-no-velvet-divorce
SUDAN by Christine Davey - Directed by Jonathan Pedler
Starring Peter McCallum, Caitlin McCarthy and Olivia Brodzinski
Sudan tells the story of the last of the last surviving male white rhinoceros, portrayed as an ageing male patient at a medical facility who is on the verge of a physical breakdown. With him are Frank, his nurse, who looks on him with compassion and love, and Cathy, his doctor, who looks on him with almost clinical detachment. The playwright, Christine Davey, has been quoted as saying “It ended up being a play about friendship, you start writing something and you think you know what it’s about and then it transforms into something else. “It went from ‘how dare we as humans cause extinction’, to the lengths we go to care about someone.”
NO VELVET DIVORCE by Jessica Montrose - Directed by Cameron Hindrum
Starring Matt Harris and Rebecca Jee
No Velvet Divorce is Tasmanian writer Jessica Montrose's debut play. It takes place over several years as Phoebe and Nick come to terms with the end of their marriage. Nick seeks validation in the arms of his new lover, while Phoebe seeks to build financial independence before embarking on a journey of renewal. Dealing with themes of redemption, recovery from trauma, reconciliation and the end of love, No Velvet Divorce deftly captures two people at their most emotionally vulnerable, exploring how they respectively find their way back to positions of apparent stability.

The Three River Annual General Meeting for 2022 will be held:Friday 18 March 7pm
Holy Trinity Hall, located behind the church at 34 Cameron Street, Launceston.
All members are welcome, and we will have plenty of membership forms on the day if you would like to renew your membership.
Our first play reading will be held at the AGM. Closed Circuit was written in the 1980's and set in the 'futuristic' 1990's, where all schools are now linked to a central computer. Face to face teaching is now obsolete. This play provokes the audience to consider where technology is leading education and what are the ramifications because of this? A play as poignant today as it was 30 years ago, especially in the light of the pandemic and online learning at home in recent years. This play lends itself to an interesting discussion - and a few laughs in between.
At the AGM we will also be holding a Silent Auction and Raffle to raise funds for our 2022 productions. If you have anything that you can kindly donate to the cause, please email 3rivertheatre@gmail.com.

John Steinbeck wrote his novella Of Mice and Men in 1937, immediately following it with his stage version, which quickly became a theatre classic. It won the New York Drama Critics' Circle Best Play in 1938, and has been performed continuously since, with the first (of many) film adaptations coming in 1939.
Set firmly in the Great Depression, Steinbeck’s tale of two landless itinerant workers explores the universality of human hopes and dreams. The play’s careful construction is like a Greek tragedy, and the issues it uncompromisingly raises, from economic disenfranchisement to disability to racism and sexism are as relevant today as they were when the play was written. The language and the action, both brutally of their time, can be confronting, but it remains a powerful and moving examination of the human condition not to be missed.
Launceston’s Three River Theatre has assembled a stellar cast to bring the show to life, including Cameron Hindrum, Travis Hennessy, Michael Edgar, Jonathan Pedler, Ryan Politis, Eleanore Knox, Matt Taylor, Leigh Oswin, Freddie Brown and Thanalert Ellen.
Directed by Stan Gottschalk.

Save the date!
Three River Theatre in collaboration with IO Performance were excited to present Branden Jacob-Jenkins Pulitzer Prize nominated play, Gloria. Originally slated for a season in 2020, This cracking and confronting script opened Wednesday May 5th at Newstead College.
Editorial assistant Dean stumbles into work, hungover from last night’s mortifying party at Gloria’s house. Surrounded by his ambitious co-workers, the only thing that matters is how fast you can climb the journalistic ladder and get your name in print. Today is another ordinary day, until suddenly it’s not and the stakes for who gets the story become higher than ever.
Patron advice: Contained adult themes, simulated violence - rated MA15+
Starred Travis Hennessy, Renee Bakker, Jasper Tabuyo, Sakura Walker, Mitchell Langley, Georgia Heiniger, Delia Breen and Mason Bennett

Edward Albee’s Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? was first staged in 1962. The play depicts the complexities, bitterness and passion in the marriage of George and Martha; and invites the audience to ‘eavesdrop’ when they invite newlyweds Nick and Honey into their web of lies and deceit.
Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? won both the Tony Award in 1963, as well as the New York Drama Critic’s Circle award in 1962-3 for best play. It is one of America’s most frequently performed plays, but the content and global message of the play easily translates to any marriage, in any country, at any time.
After the hugely successful and award-winning season of Our Town, Three River Theatre is thrilled to have Jan Gluszyk bring this American classic to the IO Performance Space.
