The Warrandyte Theatre Company is delighted to present Love/Sick by US writer John Cariani. In 2011 WTC staged Almost Maine, also by Cariani, and Love/Sick is its quirkier cousin.
A series of nine vignettes take us through love and romance in a variety of forms — from love at first sight to a bride and groom with cold feet — from couples distracted from what matters most by the pressures of life to surprise visits.
This is a highly innovative production with clever use of set and props and a cast of eight actors taking on 18 roles. You will recognise some old faces on stage — Matt Wallace and Lawrence Phelan back after a break of a few years, Simone Kiefer, Erin Brass, Fran Carl and Lochie Laffin-Vines returning to our stage after successes in ’18 and ’19 (and online appearances in the year that will not be mentioned) and, we have two new talented actors to welcome to Warrandyte — Tam Dahmen-O’Neil and Rob Lloyd.
Directed by David Tynan and Lisa MacGibbon, this play opens on June 18th.
Note please — our auditorium will be limited to 60 people for this show. Although we are permitted to go to 100% capacity, mindful of your comfort, we prefer to maintain some room for movement … and a bar.
