Don’t miss the world premiere of ‘Girls in Boys’ Cars’, on now at Riverside Theatre in Parramatta.
The show, a theatrical adaptation of Felicity Castagna’s multi-award-winning novel of the same name, tells the story of two friends, Asheeka and Rose.
Nothing short of a rollercoaster ride, the show begins with these two funny, sharp and adventurous women refusing to be held back any longer, but ends with a journey through New South Wales in a stolen car, Asheeka missing, and Rosa in juvenile jail.
Directed and adapted by award-winning theatre-maker Priscilla Jackman, the production also features mesmerising performances from Ziggy Resnick, Nikita Waldron, Suz Mawer, Ella Prince and Alex Stamell.
Author Felicity Castagna said she couldn’t wait to see Jackman bring her characters to life on stage.
“I think audiences can expect a daring production about daring girls that will appeal to everyone who has always wanted to escape where they come from and see what’s out there in the world,” she said.
National Theatre of Parramatta’s Executive Producer, Joanne Kee, said she was excited for the show to include such incredible local talent.
“It’s so important for NTofP to be showcasing the talent that resides in western Sydney, taking it to a wider stage,” she said.
“Plus, what a fantastic creative team and cast led by Priscilla Jackman, who has a fabulous track record of directing new Australian classics that celebrate and champion female stories, such as ‘RBG’, ‘White Pearl’ and ‘The Appleton Ladies’ Potato Race’.”
National Theatre of Parramatta’s ‘Girls in Boys’ Cars’ will be on at Riverside Theatre until Friday, November 3. Tickets are $59. For more information or to book, visit http://www.riversideparramatta.com.au.
