DAMN! my experience was truly "exit the king". I had made plans to go and see it... I was one week late! Thus, my plan of seeing mr Rush on home soil, with the founding artisitc director of Company B passed, like many other dreams of mine, without a trace into the netherworld of oblivion.
However, I went to see "The Art Of War" at the STC, "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" at the STC, "Ying Tong: A Walk With The Goons" at the Riverside Theatre, "KEATING!" at the Seymour Centre, "The Gates Of Egypt" at Belvoir St Theatre, "Snugglept & Cuddlepie..." at the Theatre Royal... the list goes on (AND THAT'S JUST FROM JANUARY - JULY 2007!)
I do want to see "Toy Symphony" at Belvoir St Theatre in November, as a kind of "end of HSC" celebration. it stars Richard Roxburgh (Dir. of "Romulus, My Father") and a brilliant actor.
THEATRE IS KING! GEOFFREY RUSH IS KING! NEIL ARMFIELD IS KING!...
