Amanda Muggleton stars in Love Child, 13 & 14 April at Gardens Theatre

Love Child brings Amanda Muggleton back to town


On the eve of her return to the Brisbane stage in Joanna Murray-Smith’s Love Child at Gardens Theatre on April 13 and 14, Amanda Muggleton has revealed that the character she plays has moved her to reflect on her own life.

 

A 'richly textured modern drama', Love Child traces the delicate steps of a mother’s reconciliation with the daughter she gave away at birth.

Muggleton says she identified with her character’s emotional journey, despite having no children of her own.

“I feel her pain because I’ve realised I’m at an age now where it’s too late to have a child”, she said, adding with a laugh that looking after Harry, her toy poodle cross maltese, is enough of a challenge.

Love Child is the first cab off the rank for Gardens Theatre's 2007 professional theatre season, with Hayden Spencer in The Messiah, Lisa Chappell in Educating Rita and John Wood in David Williamson's The Club still to come.

At the Roundhouse Theatre: Circa's The Space Between

28 March to 8 April

Thurs - Sat, 8pm

Book online

This is a truly unique theatre experience, acclaimed throughout Europe, Japan and Australia... Lyrical, physically extreme and joyously sensual, The Space Between is a powerful exploration of the things that keep us apart and our desire to be together. Three performers journey through explosive acrobatic encounters, lyrical duets and supple physical contortions, as they explore love, loss and desire. Visually drenched in layers of projection and set to a blend of Jacques Brel's songs, industrial sounds by Darrin Verhagin and DJ Shadow; this is stripped back circus of the heart.
