Elmwood season
A range of styles are featured in a short season of one-act plays opening at the Elmwood Playhouse next week. The. plays are “Wild Card”, by local playwright Barry Southam, “The Inhabitants,” by Olwen Wymark, and “Ritual for Dolls,” by George Mac Ewan Green. They will be directed by Barry Southam, Alison Erikson and Andrew Davidge respectively.
They are a fantasydrama about toys which come to life to act out their former owners’ relationships, a contemporary
play set in a Christchurch boarding house and a play about a Rogemomics victim who tries to gamble his way out using a young country girl new to the city. The one-act season is part of Elmwood’s policy to present as wide a variety of plays as possible each year, in length, style and content. The three plays were entered in the Shell Festival of Drama at the State Trinity Theatre.
The season will run at the Elmwood Playhouse from Wednesday, July 30, to Saturday, August 2, beginning at 8 p.m. -
