SURVIVORS by Billy O'Shea
A  strong and nuanced full page article about Playmate's world premiere of SURVIVORS by Billy O'Shea in Sydsvenskan
 

FROM THE AUDIENCE:

“an absolutely marvellous performance of 'Survivors'

“[Vanessa Poole] simply wonderful as Maggie!”

“…gillar hur realistiskt det var och att se hur folk reagerar i en sån situation”

“The discussion afterwards with Marie from Malmö University was really positive… very interesting and helpful.”

“It was a night to remember.”

“Α truly touching and original performance”

“fantastique … tragedia and commedia. And physicality…”

´”the male actors very convincing”

”Ett starkt manus, likaså dess dramatiserade läsning igår. Jag grät, jag skrattade, kände förtvivlan och ilska samt blev smått sjösjuk. ….. Så många minnen och frågor som väckts i efterdyningarna av gårdagens framförande. Denna pjäs förtjänar att sättas upp. För alla de som dog, för alla de som överlevde. Och för oss alla - som individer och som samhälle. För att vi kan faktiskt gå tillbaka. Genom att göra nya val varje dag. Well done [författaren] Billy O’Shea, Playmate Theatre Malmö"

“great work,"

“[Vanessa Poole] was amazing…"

“absolutely loved it, and my friends did too.”

“I tried to get a ticket, sold out! My friends texted me to say it was fantastic”

“Thank you for this meaningful evening!”

"...the musical score and the lighting made it so much more..."

SUNDAY IN SODOM by Jordan Tannahill
"Vem blir du i skuggan av krisen? Och hur fortsätter vardagen efter bombattacken? Krigets konsekvenser är temat när Playmate Theatre Malmö och Teater Dictat tillsammans bjuder på dubbelföreställning på Bastionen...Det pågående kriget i Ukraina nämns aldrig rakt ut. Men den verkliga konflikten är oundvikligt närvarande genom hela pjäsen...Bland annat spelas karaktären Nana, mormor i pjäsen, av den ukrainska skådespelaren Inna Syzonenko."/Skånska Dagbladet

VODKA TALKS by Arne Nielsen
a guest performance by HIT INTERNATIONAL THEATRE ARTS

 

"English-language premiere of German play ‘Vodka Talks’ is the debut play of Danish author Arne Nielsen … which he wrote in German...Active since the 1970s, Danish director Lars Junggreen is a legendary veteran of Danish theatre. While the two stars of the show, Jana Pulkrabek and Vanessa Poole, are equally familiar with the stage … and each other. Recent collaborations include ‘HAP’ in Hamburg last year and ‘The Clean House’ in Copenhagen in 2019.

Busy season for HIT International Theatre Arts

In ‘Vodka Talks’ – which will be performed in collaboration with Playmate Theatre Malmö from November 11-13 at Bastionen Theatre, and then April 20-22 at Teatert ved Sorte Hest in Copenhagen – two sisters share revelations and stunning discoveries as they sort through their late father’s estate. "

THE GOAT OR WHO IS SYLVIA by Edward Albee

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Brilliantly performed, Edward Albee’s darkly comical The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia? is not for the faint of heart. With a lurking elephant — or, really, a goat — in the room, the audience is thrown headfirst into the most emotionally intimate moments of a great marriage gurgling down the garbage disposal… Poole and Benn balance this tension of love and hate so delicately as to make the whole performance nuanced and believable…The play is carried by Poole’s strongly nuanced portrayal of one half of a happy, devoted partnership sliding quickly into insanity".
