IPHIGENIA IN SPLOTT by Gary Owen @ Flight Path Theatre MARRICKVILLE

Set in Cardiff, modern society’s many political shortcomings are detailed via all the trials and tribulations, as experienced by young unemployed Effie, all brought vividly to life by Meg Clarke. The classic Greek myth of Iphigenia has been superbly crafted and re-imagined perfectly for today’s audiences, and made immensely entertaining plus thought provoking.

Angry Effie is the unlikely heroine, who experiences fresh drama through her nightly over-consumption of alcohol and drugs. Her daily ultimate cure for morning hangovers, is to keep drinking. She finally learns important life lessons, and she knowingly evolves as changes in her personal circumstances, suddenly causes Effie to completely rethink her entire life and her life choices.

This fictional story provides drama, tragedy and comedy, and is told by one female actor, and delivered by using multiple voices for each of the people around her. Rampant emotional lust, pain and suffering, creepy stalking, unplanned pregnancy, so what else can go wrong. Two heart-breaking losses, will bring you to tears. Superb sound effects and moody lighting states, add immensely to the total theatrical experience. Highly Recommended.

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] - - -
