Article: Some Girl(s) // Reverie Theatre Company

Join Guy on his cross-country trip to visit ex-girlfriends as Reverie Theatre Company presents "Some Girl(s)," a black comedy penned by the acclaimed playwright Neil LaBute.

The production will take place at Javeenbah Theatre from Thursday, 18 April – Saturday 20 April.

"Some Girl(s)" follows the journey of a successful writer on the eve of his wedding, who embarks on a cross-country trip to seek closure with his ex-lovers. Set against the backdrop of four hotel rooms, the play explores themes of love, regret, and the complexities of human relationships.

The first stop on his tour is his now-married, high school sweetheart Sam (Cassie Baan); his second meeting is with sexually free-spirited Tyler (Candice Jean); his third with married college professor Lindsay (Corinne Le Claire), with whom he had an affair; and his final stop is to visit “the one that got away”, Bobbi (Sophie Lawson).

Directed by Sophie Lawson and Candice Jean, Some Girl(s) is an astute and provocative dramedy about the perils of relationships and messy breakups in particular.

“The show follows four meetings, with four different girls in four different cities. It’s driven by a series of really strong performances,” Ms Jean said.

“As the protagonist navigates through his past, audiences will be taken on the journey with him. It’s a journey filled with laughter, heartache, and hopefully a bit of self-discovery.

“This is an extremely limited run with four shows over one weekend only, so don’t miss it!” Ms Jean said.

Since 2020, Queensland Ballet Academy has seen a 36% decline in male enrolments, a downward trend that Christian Tàtchev, Director of Queensland Ballet Academy, observes is evident across the professional training industry globally. Queensland Ballet Executive Director Dilshani Weerasinghe said the company is taking the decline seriously by taking a market leading stand and addressing what is potentially a sustainability issue for the artform. “As such, we are encouraging the dance and broader community to join this movement with us to ensure the tradition of ballet – although ever evolving, lives on with strong participation from male dancers,” Mrs Weerasinghe said. The company has established a The Boys in Ballet Committee to identifying the roadblocks and take action to address the issue. As the fi...
