POSK THEATRE

GREEN GOOSE -PEARL OF PRL

The cast and crew  of the Green Goose cabaret gave a fantastic performance that kept the audience roaring with laughter and thundering with applause. There wasn’t a soul in the theatre that didn’t enjoy this show.

Although it never won a Tony award, “Green Goose Theatre” is one of the longest running shows and has been enjoyed by many throughout its years.

The director Helena Kaut-Howson , playing the role of Porfioron- theatre director showcased a fantastic understanding of comedic timing. Helena was able to bring out many of the more difficult themes, such as travelling in time and exploring the effects of political pressure on culture, while dancing and sining.

Fafik played by Magda Wlodarczyk showed great versatility as an actress and singer.

Joanna Kanska, who played the free spirited character of Hermenegilda, embodied the character perfectly while singing. Performance by Wojtek Piekarski who played Gzegzolka was an absolute blast to watch as he acted and sang with talent beyond his years. Weteranka portrayed by Renata Chmielewska, stole the show by her unexpected act appearing outside the stage in the middle of the audience seats.

The powerful performance of Janusz Gutner who played the character of professor Baczynski put all politicians in shame. The rap song and the street like aptitude performed by Pawel Zdun who played the character of Majtkowski added even more controversy to the performance, but not in the distracting way .

The carefully prepared “artistic mess”,  projected images and the drawing of the confused goose has been designed by Magdalena Rutkowska and fit in to the show character precisely creating the ” back stage on stage atmosphere”.

Each member of the audience was laughing throughout the show and there wasn’t an unhappy face in the crowd.

Review

‘Crime of the Heart by Beth Henley is a sweltering, sultry and dramatic take on the complicated lives of three white southern sisters in 1970s Mississippi. Ably directed by Gigi Robarts  who manages to keep the pace moving  while allowing for strong characterization and with a striking period set by Magdalena Rutkowska that evokes southern kitchens of the period;  the Tower theatre production succeeds in catching the sometimes zany, often dysfunctional lives of these three very different sisters as they struggle to renew their lives and come to terms with the past of their mother’s suicide and their own always present competitive rivalry. Jo Donnelly(Meg Magrath) , Sarah Peachey(Babe Magrath) and Emma Knott(Lenny Magrath) relish portraying the three Mississippi siblings and give clear performances aided by a strong supporting cast in the shape of Crispin Davy, Oscar Gibbs and Lucy Fletcher. Gigi Robarts has worked hard to ensure the production stays balanced on a fine point between the excesses of southern melodrama and wicked black humour and to keep the sisters’ story central while the play is framed in its historical period. All the appreciative audience at the Bridewell theatre needed was some smooth but fearsome Mississippi Punch to sip on and they’d have been ready for round two.’

How about a little hot southern comfort Mississippi style!

Suicide, murder, adultery, domestic violence and alienation are just for starters and the curtain ain’t even gone up!

It’s 1974 in Hazlehurst, Mississippi. Haunted by the shadow of their mother’s suicide our three dysfunctional protagonists, the Magrath sisters, reunite at their grandfather’s estate. Each sister grappling with her own ‘crime of the heart’ in this moving Pulitzer prize-winning play which is rarely performed on these shores!

Babe has just shot her husband and is on bail from prison.

Lenny is celebrating her 30th birthday, lighting her lone candle in a cookie.

Meg is back after a failed singing career in Hollywood.

The real sparks fly as the three sisters take on each one’s skeleton in the closet with funny and heart-wrenching consequences.

Getting ready for the next production
