The Owl and the Pussycat

From 20th June - 6th July

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday

$7 @ 7pm.

Free cheese and glass of wine on entry.

Cheese was eaten, wine was drunk, classics where read. Early this year 'My Education' hit The Owl and the Pussycat. My personal highlights where:

* squeezing what seeemed like 50 cast members on stage for a somewhat moved reading of 'The Cherry Orchard', cast and audience alike where in hysterics.

* Listening to Tennessee Williams' stage directions in 'Streetcar Named Desire', so detailed and evocative.

* Doing a cold read of Ionesco's "The Lesson", in which I cast a male in what latter became very clear was a female role, only 1 audience member but all of us in absolute hysterics.

So here is the spiel:

If you are one of these 21st century-social-media-loving-latte-drinking-gym-in-the-morning-before-work-meetings-at-lunch-9-‘til-5-insanely-busy-have-no-time-types, or you are a poor uni student surviving off of mi-goreng and goon boxes and can’t afford the glitz and glam of the theatre, even if you just have agoraphobia and physically haven’t been outside since ‘Wicked,’ whatever the reason, ‘My Education – Wine, Cheese and Classics’ at the Owl and the Pussycat is here to help.

‘My Education’ is for those of us, as cultured as we are, that for just some reason or another have not seen the ‘classics’ of the stage. It is a series of rehearsed readings to help get us up to scratch.

Every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for 3 weeks, come join us for some wine, cheese, a comfortable and friendly environment and some theatrical classics that perhaps we all should have seen, but just… haven’t.

With complimentary cheese platter and wine at bar prices.
