Put on by and at the Fulham Community Centre, this show is a program of 10 short scenes basically designed to showcase the talents of nine young Adelaide actors. While pitched as mainly comedy, the scenes covered a range of often challenging topics including dining with a gender transitioned woman, staring down a church’s beliefs about homosexuality and revealing the secrets at funeral of a family member.
All actors did well with Allisa Stapleton showing particular versatility, Tim Stoeckel displaying useful depth of emotion and Kurt Benton relishing perhaps the most difficult roles. Oggy Trisic did seem under-utilised but credit is due for his performance as dead Uncle Jimmy.
In a fringe landscape that is making it harder and harder to get heard and seen as both new players and companies, well done to all for putting this together and one hopes it can have a life going forward, providing opportunities to young hopefuls in all aspects of theatre.
