Tall Tales Theatre Company presents Wallflowering Parochial Hall Theatre |
| Wallflowering Tall Tales Theatre Company presents Peta Murray’s smash hit play Wallflowering, an Australian ballroomdancing comedy, featuring a middle-aged couple who find themselves out of step in the dance of love and marriage during 1970’s Melbourne. Wallflowering is a compassionate comedy celebrating the courage and beauty in those who dare to live their own truth, no matter how ‘ordinary’ that ‘truth’ might appear. In the play we meet Cliff (Mal Whyte) and Peg Small (Helen Norton) and their quick-stepping, fox-trotting, tango-twisting younger selves in a fabulous fusion of dance and theatre. These one time prize-winning ballroom dancers now find themselves out of step with one another and the changing values of the world around them. As Peg begins to explore beyond traditional roles of wife and mother and discovers the concept of her extraordinariness, Cliff is coming to understand that, despite being raised on visions of his own giftedness, the fact is, he will never be anything but ordinary. Wallflowering is an intelligent, romantic fable, an honest yet hopeful tale of modern love that shows it’s possible for two people to stay in step with each other despite dancing to very different rhythms. The Irish Independent, May 24 “Dance and drama like a marriage made in heaven . . . Directed by David Horan & Muirne Bloomer With Mal Whyte, Helen Norton, Diane O’Keeffe & Klaus Icleiber |
