Reps brings thrilling comedy, drama

The plays are Postal Orders and Sins Of The Father, which are being previewed ahead of staging as entries from The Repertory Players in next month’s 2010 National Invitational One-Act Festival, which will be hosted on the Reps Theatre Main Stage.
Directed by Michelle Mesley, Postal Orders  has been adapted from an old script written by Roland Pertwee and given a 1990s Zimbabwean setting. It stars Phillipa Johnston, Faith Ganyau, Collina Mvududu, Abigail Mrerwa and Ronald Pilime, and is an amusing look at service standards in a small town post office.
Sins Of The Father was written by Leo Smith and is a play for mature audiences with a focus on adultery and mind games. It stars Mike Blackburn, Kathy Murphy and Kyla Render and has been directed by Tim Garrard.
“These are two very different plays that together provide a rewarding evening’s entertainment and are presented this week in preview ahead of the one-act play festival in the first week of September, which we are hosting at Reps as part of our current 50/80 anniversary celebrations,” said a spokesperson for the theatre.
The plays, which started running on Wednesday, end tomorrow. However, there will be an additional matinee at 2.30pm tomorrow.
