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: Blue - La Boite Theatre & Belvoir St

Written by Jake Goodall Taking control of a one-man show is no easy feat. The ability to captivate an audience for a full 80 minutes is a rare talent, one that cannot be taught. La Boite's latest production, Blue, features award-winning actor Thomas Weatherall at the helm, and it is clear that they could not have made a better choice. Blue tells the story of Mark, a young man navigating life after moving out of his family home for the first time. His mother begins writing him letters to stay connected and offer gentle support. However, one letter delivers devastating news, setting Mark on a path of introspection. Alone in his apartment on a seemingly ordinary morning, Mark must grapple with his young life's trajectory, the day's demands, his studies, and the fragile nature of existence Written by Thomas Weatherall, who also stars in the production, Blue is a profoundly personal and meaningful narrative. Weatherall exposes his soul to the audience without reservat...
