Gretel In Darkness

Well, look at that - we got a special mention in The Australian! Check out the interview below where Ava & Sepy chatted about restaging our production of Grimm Tales at Customs House as part of Late Night Library!

DOWN a quiet street, the sound of jazz can be heard. It's a midweek evening and a motley group is gathered at the local library in the inner Sydney suburb of Newtown: students, young professionals and couples in their 60s mingle under low-slung fairy lights, sampling wine and cheese before the show.

Thanks to all who joined us last night for GRIMM TALES as part of Late Night Library at Customs House! We had a wonderful time performing the stories once again, surrounded by a beautiful setting of books, the harbour & a dark stormy night! Thank you also to City of Sydney for having us!

"...A more refined interpretation that strokes the moral soul of theatre and fantasy and myth-making." Aww yeah! We're playing next week at Customs House - reservations booked out, but a standby queue is in operation as seats become available on the night!

Do not spend twenty-five odd dollars on seeing the latest Hansel and Gretel action flick rubbish (I will probably still see it), not only because it got 15% on rotten tomatoes (all the more reason to see it) but because it is not going to have the ultra-dark fairytale menace (but it has ultra-hawt t...

Hey Gretels, we know we've been a little quiet lately, but we're definitely alive and kicking! Ava and I are busy making plans for 2013 - so here's hoping the world doesn't end next month, because we've got some exciting stories to tell!

This certainly adds a whole new dimension to the term 'food p**n,' doesn't it?

As the youngest member of the cast at 18, Benjamin's love for the stage came at the age of 3 in a tap troupe from the inspiration of the one and only, Barney the Dinosaur. From there he went on to perform in countless Eisteddfods over the years until he reached his teens and performed in over 20 productions with various Newcastle companies including Rio Saki with Stooged Theatre and Blackrock with Tantrum Theatre, that won him a CONDA in 2010 for his performance as Ricko. Ben spent the last two years at The Actors Pulse studying the Meisner technique.

Some great food for thought from Veronica Kaye about GRIMM TALES, which opened last night to a full house!

On the way to Grimm Tales last night, I stopped off for a drink with a friend at a little atmospheric bar. Glass of wine in hand, he leaned towards me in the soft light, and said that I reminded h...
