SUMMARY:The Odd Couple
DESCRIPTION:MBM’s The Odd Couple locks down at Holden Street\nNeil Simon classic gets theatre back in gear at Hindmarsh\nMatt Byrne Media will put a smile on everyone’s dial with Neil Simon’s classic comedy The Odd Couple at Holden Street Theatres from November 4 to 28. \nProducer Matt Byrne says The Odd Couple began on Broadway back in 1965 with Art Carney as neat freak Felix and Walter Matthau as the irascible Oscar. \nMatthau then paired with Jack Lemmon in the Oscar nominated movie version\, and Jack Klugman and Tony Randall carried the fractured friendship further forward to Emmy winning glory in the five-year TV version. \nThe MBM production features David Grybowski as Felix and Byrne as Oscar. \n“David and I have worked together on great shows like the award-winning Driving Miss Daisy\, Same Time Next Year\, Reservoir Dogs and especially Twelve Angry Men\,” Byrne said. \n“It’s wonderful to playing opposite him again\, and I’m delighted to have another long time theatre colleague Rose Vallen co-directing the show with me.” \nByrne said The Odd Couple\, set in 1960s New York\, was Neil Simon’s greatest play. \n“Trouble erupts when divorced sportswriter Oscar Madison and separated TV producer Felix Ungar end up living together in Oscar’s Manhattan apartment\,” he said. \n“It’s an hysterically funny but equally poignant look at male bonding and the ties that grind. \n“Easy-going Oscar’s place which hosts a weekly card game is a disorganised mess. So when finicky Felix moves in he can’t help but try and straighten it out – it’s a recipe for disaster.” \n“Poker buddies Murray (Timothy Cousins)\, Speed (Gavin Cianci)\, Vinnie (Russell Ford) and Roy (Frank Cwiertniak) get caught in the crossfire. \n“Oscar then sets up a double date with the riotous Pigeon Sisters\, Gwendolyn (Bec Mason) and Cecily (Lauren Weber) but Felix can’t forget his wife.” \nThe Odd Couple runs at The Studio at Holden Street Theatres at 34 Holden Street\, Hindmarsh from November 4 ($20 Preview) 5-7\, 11-14\, 18-21 & 25-28 at 7.30 p.m. and November 14\, 21 & 28 at 1.30 p.m. Admission is Adults $30 and Concessions $28 with Group Concessions $28/$26 for 10 or more. Booking Fees and COVID protocols apply. \nBook on mattbyrnemedia.com.au (8262 4906)\, or holdenstreettheatres.com (8225 8888.)

SUMMARY:Dinki Di Double Bill
DESCRIPTION:‘Strike me Lucky! We can welcome you back! \nThroughout the lockdown\, and the long winter months\, we have been plotting the way to welcome you back to ‘live’ theatre – and here it is!  A pair of Aussie shorts in a Dinky-Di Double-Bill\, directed by Bronwyn Chapple. \nFirst up\, Lissa Benyon’s The Margarine Conspiracy\, a gentle spoof on over-earnest environmentalists\, which sees an “ideologically sound” layabout going into battle with his “ideologically unsound” sister in a valiant and hilarious attempt to change her to his way of thinking. \nAnd after a Covid-safe interval\, Ian Austin’s Down Came a Jumbuck\, imagines ‘Waltzing Matilda’ written by an 1890s advertising agency! It’s sheer delight and one that’s sure to have you humming your way out of our lovely theatre. \nSeason runs 6-15 November 2020. \n \n\nPandemically paused for months\, live theatre returns to Stirling on Friday November 6. \nStirling Players will present a double bill of two short Australian plays\, Down Came a Jumbuck\, by Ian Austin\, and The Margarine Conspiracy\, by Lissa Benyon. \nOne takes a light-hearted look at political image-building\, the other at environmental worriers (sic). \nJust imagine one of Australia’s icons being created by an advertising agency in the 19th century. \nAnd does margarine really contain tiny polystyrene balls? \nWhat does Clancy of the Overflow have to do with selling toilet bowls? \nWhen an ideological layabout does battle with his “ideologically unsound” sister\, whose side are you on? \nBronwyn Chapple\, who is directing both plays\, says she picked Jumbuck “because it reflects the fact that Australians cannot get a clear picture of their identity. \n“What Australian is ever going to respect a swaggie or accept that you could put a big jumbuck into a tucker bag? \n“We still don’t know what our national identity is really.  We still don’t agree on a national anthem. \n“I wanted to do Margarine because of its relevance to today\, and a bit because of my own concern about the environment.   This play was written in 1985\, and nothing has changed\, essentially. \n“Margarine is about three characters. Tom\, who is anal about anything affecting the environment – not having a car\, using every plastic bag twice…… \n“Helen\, his girlfriend\, is supportive\, but not that happy about it because it interferes with her lifestyle. She can’t go to the beach and just enjoy it\, because Tom spends all the time picking up Mars Bar wrappers. \n“Tom’s sister is quite different.  She’s a teacher\, who thinks Tom should work and earn his living\, and stop complaining about the environment because our technology and brains will solve the issue\, so why worry? But of course\, they haven’t.” \nUnless the current COVID-19 restrictions are wound back\, seating will be restricted\, so patrons are advised to book early to avoid disappointment. \nThere will be an interval but the serving of wine\, tea\, coffee and even the traditional free welcoming sherry will depend on the COVID-19 rules at the time.
