Slapstick, Noel Coward’s sheer wit, and effete satire take the Holden Street stage with Cowardy, Cowardy Custard.
Holden Street Theatre Company brings one of Hollywood’s most outrageous divas to life, magically spinning a simple anecdote into a fascinating character portrait using razor-sharp wit, a brilliant script and captivating performances.
Holden Street Theatres is set to celebrate its 20th anniversary and the launch of a new home company with a play that will see founder and artistic director Martha Lott embody the iconic and often outrageous Hollywood star Tallulah Bankhead.
After infant Tom pushed a little girl because he didn’t want to be hugged, “he became That Boy”, his mother recalls, “and I became That Mother.” Martha Lott powerfully describes the lonely challenges of parenting a turbulent child when everyone else has given up. ★★★★
Gluttony will have its biggest tent ever, a new outdoor stage and multiple public entry points next year as it and other Adelaide Fringe hubs and venues adapt to the constraints of a COVID-19 world, with more than 800 events so far registered for 2021.
