After rave reviews from a dream run in theatres and festivals all over Australia, ‘Maureen: Harbinger of Death’ will be coming to Parramatta’s Riverside Theatres, kicking off next Thursday, March 23.
In the show, writer and performer Jonny Hawkings transforms into Maureen – a razor-tongued doyenne of Kings Cross in its incredible heyday.
Framed by velvet drapes and decorated with Jatz cracker crumbs and cigarette ash, ‘Maureen: Harbinger of Death’ sees audiences invited into the titular character’s living room, bringing everyone along on an intimate journey filled with witty banter and well-worn life advice.
The show is, in addition to a display of exquisite storytelling that breaks the rules of drama and narrative, a demonstration of the wisdom, vitality, kindness and humour of women too often overlooked or dismissed by society.
Promising a night of wit, imagination and storytelling, this show is not to be missed!
‘Maureen: Harbinger of Death’ will be on at Riverside Theatres on Thursday, March 23 and Friday, March 24 at 8pm, and on Saturday, March 25 at 2.30pm and 8pm. Tickets start at $43 for members, and $44 for non-members. For more information or to book, visit http://www.riversideparramatta.com.au.
