Heart Warming performances at the Theatre Royal
Enjoy all that Hobart has to offer in the cooler months – the colors of Autumn leaves at Salamanca Place, the view of snow capped Mt Wellington on a crisp blue sky day and a wonderful night’s entertainment in the splendid surroundings of the Theatre Royal. We’ve got plenty of shows that will chase away the winter blues before they get here.
A very special production is coming to the Theatre Royal – the world premiere stage adaptation of a classic, award-winning Australian novel: Sonya Hartnett’s Thursday’s Child. Commissioned by Sydney Theatre Company Education and adapted for the stage by Monkey Baa Theatre, Thursday’s Child explores the spirit of childhood juxtaposed with the struggle of adulthood.
Director Sandra Eldridge says, “Thursday's Child is a tale of fate, of surrendering to destiny, of family and hope, but most of all it’s a tale of memory. The epic tale of lends itself beautifully to the theatrical form.” Monkey Baa co-founder, Eva Di Cesare, says, “The Flute family, like so many in rural Australia, are victims of the harsh elements yet their desire to lay a stake in the ground and call their place their own is something that is ingrained in us all.
And don’t forget that laughter can help to keep you warm, so don’t miss Carl Barron, the comedian that brings out the hilarious side of everyday life and the madcap duo of Hale and Pace.
Allow time before the show for a glass of wine at one of our foyer bars, or make a meal of it - by enjoying dinner at the nearby Old Woolstore Hotel. Their pre-show dinner packages are great value and include two courses and a glass of wine before the show. You’ll need to book in advance on 6235 5355.
So make the most of the cooler months, rug up in your best winter finery, and head for a great night out at the Theatre Royal.
