SHORT+SWEET SYDNEY 2010

Filed under: art, Film — site admin @ 12:43 pm

Love and rejection, acceptance and intolerance… plus ‘9-up’ in ten minute bites!

Seventy-something playwright Bryan Niland’s “Somewhere over the Rainbow” is directed by famed director Aarne Neeme and stars Ted Crosby and Leah Etkind. The play portrays the struggle that erupts between characters whose values and ambitions are no longer cohesive. The turbulence of the relationship in this play is underscored by it taking place high up on a cliff top over looking a stormy ocean on a cold wild day. Both characters have abandoned lucrative positions to pursue their dreams of living as successful artists but are still struggling after many years. Now one character wants to move on because she no longer believes idealism can underpin a life. How will their conflict be resolved?
