Royal Exchange is pleased to present - CLUB SANDWICH

(first friday of every month variety show)

Happy Birthday, Liz
Even though she was born on 21 April, that’s far too close to ANZAC Day and - quelle horreur - might even get tangled up with Easter, so in Australia, the Queen of England can jolly well have her birthday in June, when it’s high time for us to have an unmitigated public holiday.

Mistress of the pastel Duster coat and immoveable weighted hems, Her Royal Highness has been a beacon of style and stability in an increasingly mad world. Whether it’s turning the other cheek to Phil’s endless array of unmentionable outbursts, or making sensible small talk with quasi-deserving OBE recipients, QEII’s maturity and breeding have inspired rafts of devoted imitators, some of whom wear even brighter, more expensive clothing, more makeup, and much higher shoes than she does.
So wear your best tiara, or polish up the crown jewels for a night of royal variety entertainment – comedy, music, dance and at least one quiz at…well where else? The Royal Exchange of course!

Hunter TAFE’s award-winning theatre production company, COMPANY CLEGG presents

TO HELLAS AND BACK

‘To Hellas and Back’ is a program of two famous Greek classics, with a slight twist, presented by the 2nd year acting students of the Advanced Diploma in Arts (Acting).

GREEK by Steven Berkoff
skinheads, politics and the story of Oedipus

This is Steven Berkoff’s contemporary spin on the Oedipus myth. Berkoff sets his play in Thatcher’s Britain – a time of political dissent and economic hardship. GREEK is an hilarious dark comedy presented in a broad physical performance style and enhanced by the use of language which varies from cockney slang to lyrical poetry.

AGAMEMNON’S DAUGHTER adapted by David Brown
deceit, murder and family secrets

This play is a contemporary adaptation of two Greek tragedies by Euripides and Aeschylus. The play also includes three chorus pieces from the opera ‘Iphigenia’ by Gluck. It is the story of King Agamemnon’s fateful decision to sacrifice his daughter to the Gods before sailing to do battle against Troy.

The Civic Playhouse (Newcastle) from Thursday 24 – Sunday 27 May 2012
Nightly @ 7.30pm
Saturday 26 matinee @ 2pm and Sunday 27 @ 5pm
