Ducks, Drama, and Destiny: Perth Theatre’s Must-See Weekend
Ducks, Drama, and Destiny: Perth Theatre’s Must-See Weekend
Get ready for a quacking good time at Studio Theatre Perth! This October, we’re serving up not one, not two, but three delicious theatrical treats: two one-act plays and a brand-new film from the Perth Youth Players.
First up, Jean Lenox Toddie’s A Little Something for the Ducks. Two widowed seniors meet by a pond, and what begins as an argument over duck-feeding rules quickly evolves into a tender, funny meditation on aging, companionship, and life’s small pleasures. Joanna McAuley-Treffers and Martin Treffers spar, flirt, and philosophize in a performance that proves you’re never too old for second chances—or chicken livers.
Then, David Mamet’s Duck Variations puts George and Emil on a park bench with nothing but ducks and opinions. Their birdwatching banter spirals into a sharp, hilarious, and oddly profound riff on life, death, and the baffling beauty of existence. Mamet’s crackling dialogue takes flight—by the end, you’ll never look at ducks the same way again.
And as a bonus? Perth Youth Players present The Prophecy, a film created, written, and performed by the town’s rising stars.
Catch the magic Oct. 16–19. Tickets at ticketsplease.ca or email [email protected].
