CPP COMMUNITY THEATRE: AUSTEN ON STAGE IN AUSTRALIA

 


AUSTEN ON STAGE IN AUSTRALIA

CPP Community Theatre (previously Croydon Parish Players) is a not-for-profit theatre group,  based in Bayswater, Victoria, Australia. As a not-for-profit amateur theatre group CCP encourage an appreciation and understanding of dramatic art. This year marks their 67th year performing for the public! In April they will be performing in a brilliant adaptation of Sense and Sensibility. The show premieres on Friday 14th April  and will be on until  22nd April  2023.   What about peeping behind the curtain and having a glimpse at the last rehearsals? Just click and watch the short promo video right below.


ITALY  &  AUSTRALIA BONDED ON AUSTEN LOVE



How did I get to hear about their show? You know, the world is really a tiny marble thanks to the Net and the Janeite community on social media, so a friend of a friend sent them the link to My Jane Austen Book Club Facebook page,  they got in touch, and here we are! Though I live in Italy and will definitely not be able to see them on stage in Australia, I'm  glad to share the details of their project, to support their efforts and help them promote their Sense and Sensibility among the friends and readers of My Jane Austen Book Club. I'm sure there must be a few Aussie Janeites following and reading, and if there are any reading right now, please, spread the word out there! 

THE SHOW




This whimsical and amusing play rollicks about the English countryside following the fortunes and misfortunes of the Dashwood sisters, as they navigate their way through life and love, accompanied by a colourful cast of characters. In this production by Kate Hamill (Pride and Prejudice, Vanity Fair, Little Women), Jane Austen's classic novel gets a theatrical re-imagining of hysterical proportions. It's Sense and Sensibility as you know it, but with an energy and pace not previously seen.
