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: Freshblood Festival - Vena Cava

Written By Thor Morrison Upcoming creatives need a place to experiment, to prosper, to explore, and even to sometimes miss the mark. It is essential that spaces that allow this to happen exist, especially in a world obsessed with perfectionism. The Freshblood Festival is an annual event run by QUT Student Theatre Company Vena Cava, focused on young writers and performers, and it does just that. It provides a space for the new and upcoming creatives of Brisbane and surrounds to experiment, have fun, and create really exciting performances. Held at BackDock Arts in Fortitude Valley, and running over two consecutive weekends, it is a massive endeavour Vena Cava have given themselves. 14 independent shows, two play readings, and 8 music acts ensure that Freshblood has something for everyone to enjoy, and shows the variety and scale of the Festival itself. Drama Dispatch was able to attend most of the second weekend, seeing a total of seven shows and a play reading, and was greatly impresse...

Review: Dogfight - Spotlight Theatrical Company

Written by Jake Goodall Get ready for a night of vocal excellence in Spotlight Theatrical Company's latest production of Dogfight! Located in the central Gold Coast, their latest production is sure to shock and delight all theatre lovers. It's 1963, and a group of young marines have gathered in San Fransisco the night before they ship off to Vietnam. They decide to celebrate their last night of freedom with a cruel game they call a “dogfight” where every man sets out to find the ugliest girl he can and brings her to a party.
