Synopsis
Amy and her brother Andy live right here in Gosnells, caring for their sick mother. Amy escapes her mundane life through fantasies about her idol – Olivia Newton-John. However, Andy is desperate to move on and enjoy the future he has planned for himself.
Theme
Where is the line between devotion and addiction? This is the central question explored in Hopelessly Devoted, along with issues of identity, reality versus fantasy, the cult of celebrity and the role of music and the arts in our lives.
Information
The first stage of the script and music development was supported by RADF and culminated in a public reading during May 2011. The feedback from the reading was overwhelmingly positive. Further creative development was undertaken during 2011 and in 2012 the first development season, directed by Lewis Jones and featuring Dan Crestani and Elise Greig, was presented at Zamia Theatre, Tamborine Mountain. This was followed by a season at Arts Centre Gold Coast during 2012. Under the watchful eye of Ian Lawson the play was developed further during 2013 and in 2014, Hopelessly Devoted was presented at Glen Street Theatre, Sydney, directed by Ian Lawson and featuring Dash Kruck and Elise Greig. This production is the WA premier and we are honoured to be able to reinvent this wonderful Australian script.
*This is a play with music, so yes you do need to be able to sing.
