Rick's Directorial debut this Saturday

Rick's début as a director will be this Saturday with the production of Wolf Boy and will be presented in the Toowoomba Repertory Theatre's Greenroom. The show starts at 8pm on Saturday 27 October 2007.

The following is from the Repertory Theatre's promotional material for the show:

Wolf boy is a very free interpretation of the only well-documented case of the capture and study of a feral, or wild, child.

In 1800, in a forest near Averyon in France, 'Victor' (as he was later called) was captured. All attempts to communicate with him were fruitless, his responses to stimuli being unpredictable and erratic. He quickly became a victim of the chaotic bureaucracy in post-revolutionary France, and was incarcerated in the Paris Institute for Deaf-Mutes while decisions were being made about his future.


Email from Rick:

Hi everyone,

I am directing my first play and for some of the actors it is their first Repertory play!! We are mostly very GREEN!

A wonderful story and hope that you can make it! No bookings but if you are there by 7.40, you will hopefully get a seat!

Play starts at 8pm and runs for one hour only.

Regards,
Rick

As per my previous BLOG post, if there is any interest in having the scripts 'preserved' in a text based format I will look at creating a word document and/or PDF document for you.

If you would like this, please send an email to me (email address below) letting me know which scripts you want (genesis/Bottoms/both) and what format you would like it in (doc/pdf). When I have completed the conversion I will email you the document.

Please let me know before the 4th November 2007 so that I can begin the process before I return the scripts to the respective owners.

The Album for the 1977 'genesis' script is now available

The 1977 'genesis' script is now available. With regard to the 'anomalies' referred to in a previous post, the text on page 28 is truncated on the right side and page 31a is shorter than the foolscap page size. If anyone has a 'less affected' version please let us know (or even a confirmation that these 'anomalies' are standard for everybody).

Script for "genesis" (1977 production) will be available shortly

I hope to complete scanning the 'genesis' script (Naomi's copy) and have a web album of it available by Thursday 25th October.

There are a couple of anomalies that you need to be aware of. On some pages the complete line of text is not there (ie the text continued past the boundaries of the page). There is also a short page (ie it isn't a full foolscap size in length and where it ends the text would suggest a section is missing).
