Arms and the Man

Arms and the Man

Looking for a witty and exciting play this spring? Arms and the Man, presented by the Sydney Theatre Company, is now playing at the Opera House. The newest adaptation of the George Bernard Shaw classic stars Crownies and Janet King actress, Andrea Demetriades as well as Mitchell Butel, Charlie Cousins, Deborah Kennedy and William Zappa.

In this 19th century fairy tale set in Bulgaria, the Serbo-Bulgarian War rages, Raina (played by Demetriades) finds herself in a love triangle involving two gorgeous men, Sergius and Bluntschli. The hilarious play directed by Richard Cottrell (who has completed several other STC productions including Australia Day and Travesties) is ironic as well as saucy. As Raina tries to make her decision between the most eligible bachelor in town or the mysterious Swiss Soldier who could take her away from her life, the audience is thrown into a magical world helped by the incredible set and costume design from Michael Scott-Mitchell and Julie Lynch.

Tickets are available now for this deliciously wicked and funny play about love and lots of chocolate. (LB)
