Article: Plide and Prejudice - Woodward Productions

 


 

Woodward Productions, the creative minds behind the uproarious hit A Very Naughty Christmas, is back with another rollicking adventure that promises to leave audiences in stitches. From June 14th at The Shed, Northshore Brisbane, prepare to step back in time and experience the riotous fun of Plied and Prejudice.

 

But wait, there's a twist! No, it's not a typo. This isn't your grandmother's Jane Austen adaptation. Plied and Prejudice is an 80-minute romp through Austen's beloved classic but with a delightful deviation. Five talented actors will take on the challenge of portraying a whopping 20 characters, all while navigating the chaos that ensues when one of them imbibes five shots of liquor and does their best to derail the show. Pride and Prejudice has long held a cherished place in the hearts of literary enthusiasts and the general public alike. With over 20 million copies sold worldwide, it's no wonder that this timeless tale continues to captivate audiences across generations.

 

Now, Woodward Productions is injecting new life into this classic story with a fresh and irreverent take that is sure to delight fans old and new. Drawing inspiration from other wildly successful (and naughty) adaptations of classic literature, Plied and Prejudice promises an evening of side-splitting entertainment. This is a show for anyone who loves the original novels, adores the film adaptations, or simply enjoys a good laugh and a great time.

 

Producer Alex Woodward said, “We're thrilled to bring this unique theatrical experience to Brisbane audiences. With Plied and Prejudice, we're blending classic literature with a modern twist, creating an unforgettable night of laughter and merriment. Get ready to experience Pride and Prejudice like never before. Come and join us at The Shed, Northshore, and prepare for an evening of literary hilarity that will leave you begging for an encore.”

 

Plied and Prejudice performs from the 14th of June 2024 at The Shed, Northshore Brisbane.

Review: Cost of Living - Queensland Theatre Company & Sydney Theatre Company

Written By Grace Wilson It’s not often you get to witness a work that changes a theatrical landscape. Sometimes we see new and bright ideas come to life but with relatively little to no impact on the way we have seen theatre for centuries. We are almost used to seeing the spark fizzle, to see conversations die away - but this co production between Queensland Theatre and Sydney Theatre Compan of Cost of Living has turned the spark into full flame. Martyna Majok’s Cost of Living asks us what is the bottom line of love, and whether love is truly something that transcends boundaries, whether they be physical or emotional? The work itself is sharp, witty, and evocative - it uses dialogue and conversation in real time to ask these hard-hitting questions about love and our ability to love, without preaching to the choir. The story itself follows a crossroad of characters: John, a PhD student with cerebral palsy, and his new young carer, Jess, and Eddie, an older trucker who is caring for his ...
