Blak Yak Theatre presents
RED DWARF II: KRYTEN
Adapted by Nick Donald - Directed by Tim Edwards
By special arrangement with Grant Naylor Productions
THE boys from the Dwarf are back! Following their highly successful
production of Red Dwarf in 2002, Blak Yak Theatre - based in Perth, Western
Australia - has got the crew together again for more shenanigans in space.
Nick Donald, Alex Jones, Chris Thomas and Jarrod Buttery have reprised their
roles as Lister, Rimmer, The Cat and Holly respectively - and this time
everyone's favourite mechanoid, Kryten (Scott Northover), is along for the
ride.
Firmly established as one of Perth's youngest and most vibrant community
theatre companies, Blak Yak Theatre strives to bring new and innovative
productions to its growing audiences.
Testament to theatre company's success is the string of awards the cast and
crew of Red Dwarf II: Kryten share among them for acting, writing, directing
and both stage and production management.
"I've loved Red Dwarf for years now because it's just so ridiculous,"
director Tim Edwards said.
"I'm a big fan of science fiction and thought that putting comedy into a
sci-fi television show was genius."
"My actors make it easy - they're all so great - although with Red Dwarf
being a cult television show you have to walk a fine line between giving
people something fresh and original while not upsetting the fans.
"But I think we've done a good job."
They're 3 million years away from Earth, they don't where they are, they don
't know what to do and haven't got a clue what's happening. It's situation
normal for the Red Dwarf crew!
Red Dwarf II: Kryten will be performed at the Kalamunda Performing Arts
Centre, Canning Road, Kalamunda, on March 17, 19, 20, 24, 26 and 27 and the
Maylands Sunroom, corner Sixth Avenue and Whatley Crescent, on March 31,
April 1, 2 and 3 - all shows are in Western Australia.
Tickets are $15 for adults and $12 for child/concession - bookings on 0500
525 259 or go to the website www.blakyak.uniting.com.au for more details.
Wish I could be there, that sounds like something to see! Wonder what the
costumes, accents and sets are like? Is the production something that could
be considered an enjoyable interpretation, or more along the lines of RDUSA?
And is the play only a half-hour long, or do they elaborate? Just a few
rhetorical questions (unless someone here lives in Australia and has
actually been or is going)!

I'd rather go and see Puppetry of the Penis
--
all around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for the daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Then go join alt.fan.penis?
I was joking, I just thought I'd mention it
Actually, that's something which, although if I was there in the audience,
I'd probably sit there entirely baffled and blushing to see grown men
basically making balloon animals out of their genitals, I have found to be
fascinating when I've seen it on TV, although I never actually hear of where
they perform. Must have to be in a secret society or something.... ;)
The Square Hidalgos of Lower Albania (and their wooden ferret Cyril).
Just thought I'd mention them.

You've reached Hercule Platini's Question of the Month!
Has anyone ever really won anything on the Readers Digest Prize Draw?
It would be interesting. Maybe if it's successful they'll tour it to the
UK.
The quaint little village of Barton-on-the-beans (and no toaster in sight).
Thus thought I'd mention them.
