  2. Farenheit Ammonite on Stage in Tasmania

    Look what I discovered today:

    Acclaimed company Here Theatre has returned with an ensemble of Tasmanian and Victorian theatre makers to develop Fahrenheit Ammonite, a world bending new play by Kit Lazaroo, directed by Dr Jane Woollard. Critics have long admired Lazaroo’s work, calling it “first rate, sometimes clever, sometimes truly inspired”, and “an exemplary demonstration of how theatre can be political and contemporary without being didactic or simplistic” […] The play draws inspiration from Fahrenheit 451, Richard Adams’s Watership Down, and Nicola Griffith’s Ammonite. Lazaroo began the script as a retelling of Bradbury’s novel from Mildred’s perspective, imagining how she might resist the limitations imposed upon her by her creator, and what text she might choose as her own reason to survive. Into Mildred’s journey Lazaroo has woven Clover the Rabbit, and later the endangered Goth from the Planet Jeep, creating a tapestry of voices that challenge, subvert, and expand the canon. — University of Tasmania

    So, huh. Not sure what to make of that. Except…cool? Even cooler if they sent me a video. (Just saying, Utas, and Here Theatre.)

    The world is a strange place…
