I Forgot to Remember to Forget
2019-07-06 19:00 - 20:00 (Australia/Adelaide) | Space Theatre, Festival Dr, Adelaide, SA, 5000, Australia
Australia/Australian Premiere
For the first time in Adelaide after a sell-out season at the True Colours Festival in Singapore 2018. An exciting collaboration co-created by performers from No Strings Attached who share their own lived experiences of acquiring a disability through illness, injury or birth.
With touching insight, I Forgot to Remember to Forget explores resilience, how we deal with and accept change, how sometimes we have to re-learn everything and how sometimes we forget it all. It is a reminder of our responsibility as friends, family and a society to remember the value and place of the individual in community, even when they themselves might not remember any more. Simply beautiful.

This is a work that has been gently and delicately brought to life and the result is a deeply touching and enchanting piece of theatre.
Shona Benson

Devised, Written and Directed by Alirio Zavarce
Created in collaboration with Michaela Cantwell, Kathryn Hall, Cassie Litchfield, Kym Mackenzie and Duncan Luke

This fast paced British farce concerns a con artist who has duped the welfare authorities for years by claiming every type of benefit for the innumerable people he claims live at his address.

To outwit the investigators, the con artist enlists help from one of his real lodgers and from his Uncle George.

The Mikado
2019-07-14 19:00 - 20:30, 2019-07-21 20:30 - 22:00 | SA, Australia
The story of The Mikado revolves around a young fellow named Nanki-Poo who has banished himself from the little town of Titipu. Nanki-Poo, it seems, has fallen in love with a beautiful young lady called Yum-Yum. Unfortunately, Yum-Yum is engaged to be married to her guardian, the tailor Ko-Ko.
However, when Nanki-Poo hears that Ko-Ko has been condemned to death for the capital crime of flirting, he hastily returns to Titipu, only to learn that Ko-Ko has not only been granted a reprieve but has been promoted to the post of Lord High Executioner.
Apparently, those in power, wishing to slow down the rash of executions, reason that since Ko-Ko was next in line for execution, he can’t cut off anyone else’s head until he cuts off his own!
The Mikado, however, soon takes notice of the lack of executions in Titipu and decrees that if no executions take place within the time of one month, the city shall be reduced to the status of a village.
Ko-Ko, desperate to avoid cutting off his own head, vows to find a substitute, and as luck would have it, just at that moment, Nanki-Poo wanders onto the stage with a rope determined to take his own life rather than live life without his beloved Yum-Yum.
Ko-Ko immediately seizes on this opportunity and offers the young lad one month of luxurious living at the end of which he would be relatively painlessly decapitated. Nanki-Poo agrees on the condition that he be married to Yum-Yum right away so that he can spend his last month in wedded bliss.
But just as the wedding celebration begins, a law is discovered, much to Yum-Yum’s distress, which decrees that a condemned man’s wife must be buried alive with his corpse!

Heathers
2019-07-17 19:00 - 21:00 | SA, Australia
This event is for anyone who wishes to be involved in Zest’s next major production – “Heathers the Musical”. We will provide information about the show, characters, rehearsal dates, performance dates and audition details. Come along to register your interest in being involved both on and off stage. As this musical contains adult themes, you must be 13 to be involved and 15 to audition. If you are under 18, you will also require parental permission to be involved. There are roles for teenagers/young adults – mature adults.
Zest Theatre Group’s mission statement is

To encourage and nurture new talent
To mix those with experience with those looking for a beginning
To develop the ability to face difficulty with spirit and courage

Based on the cult classic 1989 film, this darkly delicious satire is a rowdy, guilty-pleasure musical which takes an unflinching look at the joy and anguish of high school. Westerberg High is ruled by a shoulder-padded, scrunchie-wearing posse: Heather, Heather, and Heather, the hottest and cruellest girls in all of Ohio. Misfit Veronica Sawyer, who hustles her way into this teenage power trifecta, discovers that life in the Teflon crowd isn’t all that it seems. All bets are off when a darkly delicious stranger, JD, plans to put the Heathers in their place — six feet under. Heathers explores, with biting satire, empowerment and vulnerability in the relationships between friends, lovers, parents, and school communities, creating a show of high emotion.
Brought to you by the award-winning creative team of Kevin Murphy (“Reefer Madness”, “Desperate Housewives”), Laurence O’Keefe (“Bat Boy”, “Legally Blonde”) and Andy Fickman (“Reefer Madness”, “She’s the Man”). “Heathers The Musical” is a hilarious, heartfelt and homicidal new show based on the greatest teen comedy of all time. With its moving love story, laugh-out-loud comedy and unflinching look at the joys and anguish of high school. Are you in, or are you out?

Has Mrs Cropley learnt to cook while they’ve been away?
Is David now happy with his son’s new Bride?
Is Owen still a little too friendly with his livestock?
How will the village celebrate Christmas this year?
After coping with the village quiz and organising the week of Radio Dibley, Geraldine is stunned when Alice actually has a good idea – why not put on a Nativity play? Why not indeed, what can possibly go wrong?
All these questions and more will be answered, No no no no no, yes they will!

Beautiful tells the true story of Carole King’s meteoric rise to fame as one of the twentieth century’s foremost singer-songwriters. We are introduced to Carole when she is 16 and pitching her first song (“It Might As Well Rain Until September”) to New York music producer Don Kirshner. Soon after, she meets her future husband and creative collaborator, Gerry Goffin. In a musical whirlwind, the couple are married, King gives birth to their first child and the duo make a name for themselves in the music business, knocking out hit after hit. However, while their careers are on the rise, Carole’s personal life falls apart when Gerry announces that he wants an affair. As Carole tries to negotiate marriage, adultery and personal happiness, she is supported by friends and playful rivals, Cynthia Weil and Barry Mann. Although they all compete for number one hits on the pop chart, Carole relies on their support to change her life and find her own voice. Set in the vibrant pop industry of the 1960s and early 1970s, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical features a tapestry of musical hits from the creative song writing teams of King and Goffin, Weil and Mann.
