| Season: 6 - 14 June 1980 The Bald Prima Donna By Eugene Ionesco Directed by Don McAra This is an hilariously maniacal assault on the banality of English suburbia. A family is discussed, every member of which is called Bobby Watson; a young couple is alarmed to find that they have been married for years. For such people, words can have no meaning. The play ends in a crescendo of non-sequiturs. Cast: Mr Smith - William Direen Mrs Smith - Mary Gray Mr Martin - Peter Elliott Mrs Martin - Judith Geare The Maid - Cherie Slade The Fire Chief - Craig Dixon The Lesson By Eugene Ionesco Directed by David Bridges The Professor's private lesson begins well: his pupil seems remarkably gifted. Suddenly he discovers she cannot subtract. The lesson gets more frenzied as he persists in forcing her to understand subtraction. Maddened by her insensibility, he stabs her. The maid clucks with dismay. This, she complains, is the fortieth to be stabbed today. Cast: The Professor - Guss de Koster The Pupil - Anne Jones Marie, the Maid - Jennie Goodman |   |
