The 2010 Melbourne Theatre Co season at a glance..
Richard III
Opens Saturday 24 April Closes Saturday 12 June
The civil war is over and everyone can bask in the glorious summer created by the new King – everyone, that is, except Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who is more suited to darkness and chaos. Two elder brothers and two young princes stand between him and the English crown. Yet these barely count as obstacles for one so steeped in cunning.
The Ugly One
Opens Wednesday 12 May Closes Saturday 12 June
Lette was thwacked by the ugly stick and no one had the heart to tell him. When his boss passes him over for a job and his wife finally gives it to him straight, he books an appointment with a plastic surgeon. After a nip here and a tuck there, he suddenly looks a million dollars. But a million dollars can look pretty cheap if everyone in town starts looking the same.
Boston Marriage
Opens Friday 4 June Closes Saturday 17 July
In the drawing room of a fashionable Boston townhouse, Claire and Anna have struck perturbed waters in their long, intimate relationship. In need of money, Anna is considering a marriage of financial convenience; in need of satisfaction, Claire wants to consummate her crush on a young girl she’s recently met. Both, then, have causes for jealousy and both, regrettably, have tart tongues.
Dead Man's Cell Phone
Opens Saturday 26 June Closes Saturday 7 August
When the man next to her in a café fails to answer his mobile phone, Jean discovers that he is seriously incommunicado. Feeling some responsibility for the stranger and wanting to offer some comfort to the dead man’s family, what can she do but keep answering the phone? But responsibilities taken up lightly can become burdens in time.
Let the Sunshine
Opens Wednesday 28 July Closes Saturday 4 September
Attempting to escape a scandal in Sydney, Toby, a lefty documentary filmmaker, arrives in Noosa with his wife Ros to discover that the quaint fishing village of youthful memory is now filled with the sort of wealthy Sydney-siders he hoped to leave behind. A short acquaintance with the right-wing Ron and Natasha becomes a long-term problem when his slacker son and their striver daughter hit it off.
All About My Mother
Opens Saturday 14 August Closes Sunday 26 September
When her seventeen year-old son dies, Manuela leaves her job and takes to the road to search for her son’s father. In Barcelona, she becomes involved with three women in crisis: a young nun, a famous actress and a drag queen. Yet, will taking care of these women help her overcome her guilt and grief for a lost child?
Life Without Me
Opens Saturday 9 October Closes Sunday 21 November
If you don’t know who you are and you don’t know where you’re headed, you might find yourself spiralling in ever-tightening circles until you come to rest in a nondescript part of town in a crummy two-star hotel, where the service is churlish, the lift doesn’t work, the toast is burnt and the pot plants set off your allergies. But keep your expectations low, really low, and, who knows? – you might be pleasantly surprised by how everything works out.
Songs for Nobodies
Opens Friday 5 November Closes Saturday 18 December
When a great singer lets her voice float out over the anonymous crowd, or form the grooves of thousands of records, or flow through radios into millions of homes across the world, she makes countless unknown connections with people. The singer has her story and the listener hers, and should those stories touch each other, there can be magic.
