Dear Grif-friend,<\/strong><\/p>\n There\u2019s nothing fairly like being within the Big Apple, is there? Last week, I joined a small group of intrepid Griffin Board members and donors on a theatre pilgrimage to Broadway for the opening of Suzie Miller<\/strong>\u2019s Prima Facie<\/a>, <\/em>directed by Justin Martin<\/strong> and starring Jodie Comer<\/strong>. On the again of two Olivier Awards<\/a>, together with Best New Play, and 4 Tony Award nominations, Suzie\u2019s success and the affect of this work was palpable. There have been articles in all the key newspapers from The New York Times<\/em><\/a> to the LA Times<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and the star-spotting at a number of exhibits made us need to pinch ourselves.<\/p>\n At the identical time, Griffin\u2019s manufacturing of Prima Facie<\/em> directed by Lee Lewis<\/strong> and starring Sheridan Harbridge<\/strong> was on a five-week Australian tour which completed in Toowoomba final evening. Lee and Sheridan\u2019s dedication to this work can also be worthy of recognition and has been basic to its success. As we converse, the State Theatre Company of South Australia<\/a> is presenting a model new manufacturing of Prima Facie<\/em>, directed by David Mealor<\/strong> and starring Caroline Craig<\/strong>. There are additionally plans for the work to be made into a movie.<\/p>\n Not many Australian playwrights can boast this stage of success and we couldn’t be extra proud. From little issues, large issues develop. By supporting solely Australian playwriting on our small stage and wrapping every thing we are able to round a piece for it to succeed\u2014we’re saying that our tales matter. We assist artists at a essential level of their profession. And once they soar, like Suzie is, we\u2019re proper beside them.<\/p>\n Just across the nook (previews begin subsequent week) is one other one-woman present that we\u2019re tremendous enthusiastic about: Pony<\/em><\/a> by Eloise Snape<\/strong>, directed by Anthea Williams<\/strong> and starring Briallen Clarke<\/strong>. This is one other powerhouse trio of ladies\u2014the truth is, your entire inventive group of\u00a0Pony<\/em> is comprised of ladies. And scorching on its tail can be Suzie\u2019s subsequent work: Jailbaby<\/em><\/a>. Don\u2019t neglect, it\u2019s positively not too late to subscribe<\/a> and get cheaper tickets and a great deal of advantages together with reductions on drinks at The Penny Cook Bar, invites to unique Griffin occasions and Mates Rates on the extra tickets you buy for family and friends. You can e-book as few as 2 Plays in a bundle, which makes subscribing to Griffin<\/a> a little bit of a no brainer.<\/p>\n It was nice to see a heap of theatre in New York however TBH, the theatre we make in Sydney completely holds its personal internationally. It was magic to journey midway internationally and witness Suzie\u2019s play touchdown so powerfully amongst a really theatre-discerning crowd. But magic additionally occurs on the tiny SBW Stables stage (UFO<\/em>, which simply completed a sell-out season, was a terrific instance of this).<\/p>\n I hope we see you within the lobby quickly. There\u2019s heaps to be pleased with, and extra historical past to be made.<\/p>\n Love, Julieanne Campbell<\/strong> [ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ad_1] 04.05.23 Dear Grif-friend, There\u2019s nothing fairly like being within the Big Apple, is there?
