South Australian Writers' Theatre presented a rare production of an original play Time Gentlemen, Please by Brian Fox. I was in the play. Photographer Barb Leopold attended the show one evening and took some great photographs without a flash. Great stuff, because flash photography during live theatre is so distracting. The black and white theatre shots on this page are from Barb Leopold's lense. It's worth checking out Barb's website as well HERE. Thanks for the photographs Barb!
It was directed by Anita Baltutis and featured Kieara Bacon, Paula Carter, David Jobling, Brian Knott, Aldo Llongobardi, Sharon Malujlo, Iris Petitt and Cate Rodgers.
it was on at The Queens Arms Hotel, 88 WRIGHT St; Adelaide, South Australia, October 9th, 10th, 12 (@ 3pm) October 16, 17 (@ 7:30pm) and Sun 19 (@ 3pm)

The release I wrote for the play (below) was a little darker than the one that appeared anywhere else.
I played a nasty bitter old minded drunk who felt so worthless he allowed other people, namely his wife Olive, to lord it over him in an high and mighty way. He was a secret war hero, so no hero at all and his dedication to his service would never ever surface, this was his big life secret as shamelessly he became twisted and bitter; that was my inner take on Dan the man... mean old shite that he was.
This is the slightly darker take I had on the show: Humour is dark and light, like a pint of Guinness in a 1960's Dublin pub. Meet the customers who frequent the back bar and snug of Bennett's Bar & Lounge in the Dublin of the 1960s. Dan (David Jobling) idles his time away in the pub to avoid a wife he doesn't understand and a life he cannot face after returning from a war he will never mention.
Cliona's (Sharon Malujlo) body clock urgently requires her to answer the imperatives of time.
Dervla (Cate Rogers) bemoans time wasted in her futile pursuit of a relationship with the charming but soft Dickie (Aldo Longobardi).
Dickie time-manages his relationship with Dervla, placing her low on his list of priorities hoping to make himself a new life in America.
Then there's Cliona's mother, Becky (PaulaCarter) who has no time for her friend Annie's (Iris Petitt) sly whiskey sipping ways or her daughter's outrageous solution to deal with time marching on.
Tragedy? Comedy? Just like life, it's a bit of both but you have to laugh, don't you?
