CATE FUCKING BLANCHETT @ FLIGHT PATH THEATRE MARRICKVILLE


 
CATE FUCKING BLANCHETT is the clever story of three sisters, and of course Cate Blanchett has the opportunity during this three act play, to perform in the role of each of the three sisters. The sisters are Margo, Nina, Grace, and when required each sister is Cate Fucking Blanchett. Multiple roles are always a gift for actors.

There is one actor (Melissa Jones) who looks remarkably like a young Cate Blanchett, and she delivers a thoughtful timed performance, with the deliberate mannerisms and pitch perfect voice, that unmistakably IS a young Cate Blanchett.

Nina’s IVF egg donations to Margo upsets Grace, and sparks a meta-theatrical play with tragedy and drama and humour too.

This play will be experienced differently by each and every person watching as the play unfolds, and then collapses and ultimately the lives of all three sisters are resurrected.

There are “who is who voiceovers” heard at the beginning of the play. Better audience experience, would be for the “who is who voiceovers” to only be spoken at the beginning of the advertised three acts.

An actor is heard to say WEST BANK for the LONDON location of THE NATIONAL THEATRE – which of course is located at SOUTH BANK, on the other side of the River Thames in SE1 and not anywhere near the LONDON WEST END theatres.

A background sign in a hospital says Mittelschmerz. Mittelschmerz is middle-pain of ovulation, left ovary and next month right-ovary BUT with IVF human egg collection, of twenty eggs per cycle, are twenty times the pain.

Once we were old enough, my parents took the whole family to the Sydney CBD cinemas every week. Thus began a lifetime interest, in going to the cinema every week, and became a passionate cinephile by watching all those very heavily edited ''Australian Film Censorship Board'' true cinéaste versions of brand new release ''Cinematograph Films''. Greater Union always gave my father (who worked in Cinema Distribution Exhibition) guest double movie passes, to every first-night ''red carpet Opening Night'' at The State Theatre Cinema at 49 Market Street. Up until his death, my dad always received ''two house seats'' for every Opening Night performance events at the Theatre Royal SYDNEY and at Her Majesty's Theatre SYDNEY. As a child, when mum choose not to go, I often went with him, to those live performance events. As a young child, I remember being taken for each new show, at both The New Theatre at 60 Sussex Street, and the Phillip Street Theatre when located at 150 Elizabeth Street, and for classical music concerts at Sydney Town Hall. = = = ★★★★★ = = = Being happy is a choice, and I have always viewed my life, as material ready be made into a series of amazing tentpole movies. My New Years Resolution is kept every year: ''Get to see/review five new live theatre shows each week, and get to see/review six new cinema movies each week'', plus is one of the Australian Cinema Pioneers, and apparently have seen far too much already, but always wanting to experience more and more each year. I am also able to do almost everything that I enjoy doing. Yes, I do have a great daytime job in I.T. as ''Software Design Project Manager'', PLUS each evening until quite late - - - Australian Cinematograph Films historical censorship consultant - product-placement consultant - mystery-shopper consultant - playwright, writer, author, director, producer, photographer, cinematographer, color-grader, subtitles proofreader - arts/ drama/ music/ film critic and judge, journalist, member FIPRESCI & FCCA & AFCA, member AACTA accredited film reviewer-critic-writer, accredited IMDB.COM critic-reviewer-author, projectionist, plus an innovative iconoclast - - - ★★★★★ LYNN BELVEDERE ★★★★★ - - - [usr 5] - - -
