The Club

Rookie joins Wood in Round 2 of The Club


Guy Kable had just finished acting school and signed a record deal with his rock band when he received the call of a lifetime; the offer to star alongside John Wood in The Club.

 

Returning for encore performances at Gardens Theatre on 24 and 26 May, rookie Guy (pictured, bottom right) says touring with John and the experienced cast has taught him more in four months than his four years at the Victorian College of Arts!

Catch Guy, John and the cast while you can, with some tickets still available. Purchase online or phone (07) 3138 4455.

Summer of the Seventeenth Doll

Opens 30 April
Bookings 07 3007 8600

This legendary play depicts the fortunes of cane cutters Barney and Roo, who travel south every year to spend their layoff in the house of Roo's girlfriend, Olive. Year after year they bring with them a kewpie doll as a symbol of their long-standing ‘arrangement’.

But this year, time and circumstance have conspired to change things forever and no one, not even the youthful and naïve Bubba from next door, will emerge unscathed from the summer of the seventeenth doll.
