Social Climbers

What do you get when you take 6 women (in varying stages of their personal journeys), an isolated bush hut, alcohol and 4 days at the mercy of the elements and wild life? A hilarious piece of theatre!

Helen Maden has taken this play and talented cast and created a memorable piece of theatrical magic. The séance scene (pictured) is a fine example.

The ensemble cast bounce of each other (and everything that they bump into) with flare and take the audience along for the experience.

Great performances from all the ladies: Suzanne Grant, Susan Carey, Del Halpin, Amy McDonald, Laney McLean and Camille Chorley along with Helen’s fabulous set (including the outdoor Dunny) has resulted in this production receiving 5 short listed nominations for the Gold Coast Area Theatre Awards.

Despite a few minor technical hitches (weall know about the ever-present theatre gremlins) this show certainly lives up to it’s description of “a glorious romp”!

GCLT’s intimate venue is ideally suited for this type of entertainment; the audience felt as though that they were part and parcel of this ‘bonding session’ and really enjoyed the whole process.
