The Lane Cove Theatre Company’s 2023 season starts with a bang with a hearty laugh-out-loud comedy – The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society’s Production of Macbeth. The play is directed by Andrew Castle.
It starts on 10 February and runs through to 26 February (weekends only) at The Performance Space @ St Aidan’s in Longueville.
What is the Play About?
The Farndale Avenue Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society’s Production of “Macbeth” is an hilarious view of potential mishaps in the world of amateur theatre.
The fearless ladies of the Farndale Dramatic Society, along with their Producer and Stage Manager, offer an audacious rendering of Shakespeare’s classic Macbeth. They hope this will guarantee them a place in the Drama Finals at Wellyn Garden City.
The ladies have been rehearsing for months … however the old theatre adage, “it will be right on the night” does not come to pass, and whatever can go wrong in a theatre production does and how the ‘Ladies’ deal with it creates chaos.
Anyone who has ever participated in amateur theatre will have understood and enjoyed this show safe in the knowledge that at least nothing ever goes quite so wrong in real life. Hopefully.
Director Andrew Castle says “I first saw the Farndale Macbeth at Hunters Hill 30 years ago… and it is one of the few nights at the theatre that had me gasping for breath, I was laughing so much. To revisit this play after so many years has, for me been a sheer delight.”
“… a delightful piece of dribble that is very entertaining and a pleasant way to while away an afternoon or evening.” Stage Whispers
