Help send THE SHARE to Sydney!
Support South Australian artists as they showcase their talents in Sydney!
About the Project
five.point.one has been invited to present their award-winning production of THE SHARE, by Daniel Keene at The Reginald Theatre, Sydney as part of the 2012 season. This is a fantastic opportunity for South Australian artists to take their work to Sydney and showcase the very best independent theatre from Adelaide!
In 2010, five.point.one staged THE SHARE at The Bakehouse Theatre. THE SHARE was awarded ‘Best Drama, Professional’ at The Adelaide Theatre Guide Awards and actor Matt Crook was awarded ‘Emerging Artist of the Year’ by the Adelaide Critics’ Circle for his performance.
"This is gritty theatre that kicks your conscience. It's compelling stuff!”, The Sunday Mail
About The Share
Tex and Sugar are best mates. They’ve lived on the streets together since they were kids. They are broke, bored and looking for trouble. Following a tip from a mysterious one-eyed kid, they plan a violent attack on a drug dealer and his dog. But who will get a share of the spoils?
Performed with a live music score, prepare yourself for a funny, dark and brutal theatrical experience.
To help us get to Sydney, we need to raise $2000. Your support will go towards flights, set construction, costumes, lighting and insurance for our production. All monies raised will have a direct and tangible impact on our production.
Directed by Corey McMahon, THE SHARE features the return of original cast members Scott Marcus as Tex and Matt Crook as Sugar, with Luke Ashby back to reprise his wonderfully atmospheric live score. We’re also excited to welcome Thomas Conroy to the cast as The Kid. Lighting Designer, Ben Flett returns to the production and Manda Webber will jump on board to recreate Cassandra Backler’s wonderfully minimalist design.
Produced by Peter Gahan in association with five.point.one, THE SHARE will be at The Reginald Theatre from 21 November to 8 December, 2012.
