A Moment on the Lips
Mad March Hare Theatre Company will stage Jonathan Gavin’s award-winning all-female production, A Moment On The Lips.
The play, set during a dinner party, moves backward and forward in time, as seven powerful women confront their jealousies, rivalries and their respective ambitions.
The Old Fitzroy Theatre, which staged the production ten years ago, will again play host.
Real life sisters, Sarah and Beth Aubrey, will also play sisters onstage, their first performance together.
Sarah Aubrey says, “It’s truly a dream come true and also slightly bizarre to be working together. It’s almost like we’ve been researching this role for the last 33 years.”
The Aubreys are the only female siblings to ever graduate from NIDA.
“The first time we got up to rehearse we couldn’t stop laughing because we know each other so well. The way we speak and move is very similar.”
Aubrey continues, “I saw the play ten years ago and it’s been in my head ever since. I was incredibly moved by it and excited that there was a play with seven intelligent, well-rounded, articulate women, who weren’t all sitting around talking about a man – a rarity in the acting world.” (GF)
Mar 25-Apr 12, The Old Fitzroy Theatre, Dowling St, Woolloomooloo, $21-39, sitco.net.au
