EVERYMAN & THE POLE DANCERS moving to Tokyo

We have finished our Melbourne season with a bang. Thank you all who attended and provided us with their energy to keep delivering. The reviews have been nothing short of fantastic so far
and fingers crossed this trend will continue.
We had to part with three members of the cast, the WONDERFUL TRIO: Jane Bayly, Maude Davey and Reece Vella.  I am forever indebted for their brilliant contributions to the first incarnation of the play.
Now is time for the Japanese version of the production. We arrived in Tokyo on Monday and from Tuesday we are working on it. Firstly the cast and crew met with the translator, prof. Keiji Sawada to discuss the nuances and differences of the English and the Japanese texts.  It was a very fruitful session/read through, which helped us all with solving some of the cultural misunderstandings. Now we are rehearsing full steam on the floor.
Paraphrasing one famous author: "So many things will have to change in order to stay the same" -  but it's all worth it I believe.

Everyman & The Pole Dancers rehearsal video

We are already in the theatre - working hard, but it's all worth it as Everyman & The Pole Dancers will enjoy the first audiences today. The month we spent rehearsing at BiG Fish seems so far away  now. In order to say thank you and goodbye to our fantastic hosts - Reanta and Alfons - Lara Week put together a short clip from the last day of rehearsals at Big Fish. Check it out:



Surely we hope you can make it to the Mechanics Institute in Melbourne's Brunswick to see the show
between the 1st the 11th of October. The whole cast: Maude Davey (as Everyman), Jane Bayly, Matt Crosby, Kathleen Doyle, Kazuto Shimamoto, Keina Denda, Reece Vella and our composer Noriko Tadano - all are at their wonderful best.
