Subtle Nuance Presents
TALC & TWO GATES
14 July-! August
Two plays of redemption
Subtlenuance has burst onto the Sydney theatre scene to much acclaim:
Catherine at Avignon "a triumph of narrative construction….. Like Stoppard, Gilchrist is great with words…. is a significant achievement in writing, direction and staging." Media Culture
True Times Three "I can't really bring to mind the last time I laughed as loud and, almost amidst it, felt the agony of intense, searing tragedy." Australian Stage Online
Before the Embrace "a thoroughly enjoyable night of mischievous satire." Alternative Media
A Thing of Beauty "a thing of affecting comedy and incisive social commentary, performed solo, and brilliantly by Richards….it'll galvanise a cult following." Australian Stage Online
Now subtlenuance presents two more original Australian works in a double bill of compelling one act plays.
Sam and Kate are happy.
They're in love. They've moved in together.
Then Kate commits a terrible crime.
But no-one sees.
No-one wants to.
Some things are just too hard.
Talc – an extraordinary new play about the evil decent people do.
Written by Daniela Giorgi
With Lucas Connolly and Jo Richards
Two Gates
"In Life there is only the trivial and the overwhelming. There is nothing in between. I am that nothing."
At turns hilarious and heartbreaking, a young Australian traveller chronicles how she escaped the "everyday", only to confront the "never again".
A tour de force of music, movement and laughter.
Two Gates is the newest work by critically acclaimed writer Paul Gilchrist.
With Heidi Lupprian
TAP Gallery, 278 Palmer Street, Darlinghurst.

UNDERCOVER LAWYER
BY TONY LAUMBERG
UNDERCOVER LAWYER
Bowing to popular demand, Tony Laumberg has dusted off his most popular and enduring characters, pompous CBD lawyer Henry Crowley and his sarcastic and perpetually inebriated wife Margaret in a new play - a laugh-filled tale of espionage, lies and deception, set in the genteel environs of leafy St Ives.
A lawyer by day ("but don't hold it against me"), Laumberg is the writer of sell-out comedy hits that include Unsolicited Male, Lawyers in Love, My Fair Lawyer and Bondi Legal.
The play also continues Laumberg's popular creative collaboration with director Richard Cotter – the pair's tenth!
In this play, Henry is convinced by an alluring young ASIO agent, Pamela Goodbody, to spy on his neighbour, a gifted animal psychic, little knowing that ASIO not only suspects Goodbody of being a double agent but has even enlisted his own wife, Margaret, to spy on him!
Henry goes deep undercover to unearth evidence that his neighbour is a foreign spy but he doesn't take long to find himself way over his head in trouble. Who can he trust? Is the animal psychic really a threat to national security? Will Henry be able to increase his hourly rate?
This madcap tale of spies and spouses stars Nastassja Djalog, Daniel Felkai, Mark McCann, Tricia Youlden and – jumping up from his director's chair in a comic cameo - Richard Cotter.
Design by Tony Youlden.
