SUMMARY:A Hard God
DESCRIPTION:Peter Kenna’s A Hard God is semi-autobiographical and prompted him to say about this magnificent 1973 Australian play\, ‘In other plays you have to invent stories. Only occasionally do you write out of your veins.’\n\n\nA Hard God is set in Sydney in 1946 and tells the story of the Cassidys\, three working-class Irish-Australian brothers and their families\, struggling to reconcile their faith with the harsh realities of post-war life. Middle brother Dan and his wife Aggie suffered most during the Great Depression\, but now have become the rock on which the rest of the family depends. As each brother struggles to navigate conflict and adversity\, a younger Cassidy\, Joe\, is confronted by the realisation of his deep attraction to his best mate and the crisis of faith this brings. When unexpected tragedy strikes\, the ensuing conflict and upheaval results in circumstances that make for intense family drama\, with events as topical today as in the 1940s.\n\nWith a great cast\, led by Lindsay Dunn as Dan and April Stuart as Aggie\, and directed by Harry Dewar\, this will be an unmissable play. \n\n\nBookings from October 17 at https://www.trybooking.com/CUUAS\n\n\nAlternatively\, call 0436 262 628 or email bookings@stjudesplayers.asn.au

SUMMARY:A Hard God
DESCRIPTION:Peter Kenna’s A Hard God is semi-autobiographical and prompted him to say about this magnificent 1973 Australian play\, ‘In other plays you have to invent stories. Only occasionally do you write out of your veins.’\n\n\nA Hard God is set in Sydney in 1946 and tells the story of the Cassidys\, three working-class Irish-Australian brothers and their families\, struggling to reconcile their faith with the harsh realities of post-war life. Middle brother Dan and his wife Aggie suffered most during the Great Depression\, but now have become the rock on which the rest of the family depends. As each brother struggles to navigate conflict and adversity\, a younger Cassidy\, Joe\, is confronted by the realisation of his deep attraction to his best mate and the crisis of faith this brings. When unexpected tragedy strikes\, the ensuing conflict and upheaval results in circumstances that make for intense family drama\, with events as topical today as in the 1940s.\n\nWith a great cast\, led by Lindsay Dunn as Dan and April Stuart as Aggie\, and directed by Harry Dewar\, this will be an unmissable play. \n\n\nBookings from October 17 at https://www.trybooking.com/CUUAS\n\n\nAlternatively\, call 0436 262 628 or email bookings@stjudesplayers.asn.au

SUMMARY:SILENT SKY
DESCRIPTION:St Jude’s Players presents the South Australian Premiere of Silent Sky\, Lauren Gunderson’s soaring and immersive dramatisation of the life and work of early 1900s American astronomer Henrietta Leavitt. \nNow hailed as an early 1900s astronomer ahead of her time\, Henrietta Leavitt’s status in her first job at Harvard Observatory is far below that of the male astronomers there. To follow her dream\, Henrietta is driven by an obsessive work ethic\, even though this impacts her relationships with family\, colleagues and a new-found love. \nAt last\, Henrietta makes a profound scientific discovery that changes human understanding of the breadth of the universe. \nDirected by Lesley Reed \nThe beautiful original music score by Jenny Giering features throughout the production\, along with stunning lighting and projection. A starfield ‘cradles’ the set\, as required by the playwright. \nAugust 8-17.\nBook at TRYbooking or call 0436 262 628/email bookings@stjudesplayers.asn.au

SUMMARY:LABOUR OF LOVE
DESCRIPTION:Written By: James Graham (Other plays include Ink\, Dear England\, This House) \nCreative Team: Directed by Kym Clayton \n\nLabour of Love is a political comedy set in the local constituency office of British Labour MP David Lyons in North Nottinghamshire in the twenty-seven-year period between summer 1990 and spring 2017.\nDavid Lyons MP cares about modernisation and “electability”\, but his constituency agent (i.e. chief of staff) Jean Whittaker cares about principles and her community. The action of the play is set far away from the Westminster bubble in the party’s traditional northern heartlands\, and explores the clash of philosophy\, culture\, and class against the backdrop of the Labour Party over a period of 25 years\, as it moves from the time of labour leaders Kinnock through to Blair and Corbyn.\nAlthough the play is about UK politics\, it is written in a way that it evokes feelings about our own political system of party politics. Some themes are eternal!\nThe play begins on 9th June 2017\, the early hours of the morning in a David Lyon’s constituency office. David waits anxiously with Jean for the results of the snap General Election\, and the first reports suggest a hung parliament. Having been re-elected six times since 1990\, David faces the possibility of finally being voted out while his party\, despite some gains\, looks likely to be denied victory for the third time in a row.\nWhy is Labour losing seats in its traditional northern heartland while winning ‘safe’ Conservative ones elsewhere? What’s shifted within the party and country as a whole? David and Jean have witnessed many changes within the Labour movement over the past three decades: the election of Tony Blair as leader in 1994 and the birth of ‘New Labour’; the party’s landslide victory in the 1997 General Election; reduced majorities in the 2001 and 2005 elections; Tony Blair stepping down in 2007; successive leaders\, Gordon Brown\, Ed Miliband and now Jeremy Corbyn…\nThrough it all they’ve worked together side-by-side – David advocating the need for a new approach\, Jean championing the old values. Despite their many differences\, a grudging respect has grown between them\, and\, with it\, affection. All this is pulled into sharp focus by the return of David’s ex-wife\, Elizabeth\, who suggests they give their marriage another try… Having guided the MP through six successive victories\, is his fiery constituency agent prepared to see him lose now on the home front?\nREVIEWS\n“… unexpectedly proven to be box office gold” ~ Time Out\n“It is in fact startlingly funny\, peppered with one-liners and jokes” ~ What’s On Stage\n“And what makes this such a good and gripping piece of theatre is that it doesn’t preach us sermons about press ethics but leaves us to draw our own conclusions … It strikes me as a first-rate play” ~ Guardian\n“…diligently researched and informative … an inventive hybrid of Much Ado About Nothing\, Yes Minister and Stephen Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along” ~ The Evening Standard \n\nInformation Session: \n\nAudition Information: \n\n\n\nAudition Information #:0\n\n\nDate:\n08/06/2024\n\n\nTime From – Time to:\n11:00 – 14:00\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:0\n\n\nRole Name:\nDAVID LYONS: CO-LEAD ROLE.\n\n\nGender:\nMale\n\n\nStage Age:\n\n\n\nRole Information:\nStage age late 40s-early 50s.\nCultured English accent.
