N.Z. Actor Back On Sydney Stage
The New Zealand-born I actor, Peter Adams, returned! to the Sydney stage on May I 30. Mr Adams is playing the hero in the Old Tote Theatre’s production of the French farce, “Cat Among the Pigeons.’’ His return to the boards of the Old Tote is after a spell in television since his triumph last year in the Old Tote’s production of ‘A Day in the Death of Joe Egg.” “Cat Among the Pigeons," in which he plays a young Frenchman trying to disentangle himself from an affair with a cabaret singer so that he can marry into society, is Mr Adams's first venture into French farce, although he played in English farce in New Zealand. The son of a clergyman, he sang on the Sydney club circuit when he arrived from
New Zealand eight years ago, land then drifted back into theatre. Mr Adams has no intention of leaving Australia to try bisj luck overseas. “I’ve been out of work here, but I’ve never starved,” he said. “You might do all right overseas if you clawed your way to the top, but as far as I’m concerned the trouble wouldn’t be worth it.”
