My Brilliant Divorce
“An irresistible
twinkle, great directness, warmth and humour. A lovely play that shines”
London
Times
From the team that
brought you Shirley Valentine and Always…Patsy Cline, now brings a show that’s
been a hit in 28 countries around the world. My Brilliant Divorce sees star
Mandi Lodge, award winning director Denny Lawrence (AFI and ACCTA Awards) and
HIT Productions (25 years touring Australia) again combining their talents.
This time to present a funny heartfelt story about Angela who is trying to
‘take charge’ after a divorce from her lying, cheating husband. A divorce that
shocked her…but everybody else she knows, knew she was hurtling towards. A
funny, contemporary story with heart.
With one in three
Australian marriages ending in divorce, this is a highly relevant topic that is
skillfully tackled by leading playwright Geraldine Aron. The West End Production
of the show starred Dawn French (Vicar of Dibley, French and Saunders) and was
nominated for a coveted Olivier Award as Best Entertainment.
Mandi Lodge says
she’s enjoying the challenge of taking on a challenging issue using wit and
honesty.
“As with any
upheaval, people can find funny things happen amongst the drama and it is those
lighter moments that help us get through and find perspective. Our show works
as either a funny, heartful time in the theatre or it can give people a chance
to recognize the ups and downs of divorce and hopefully feel a bit better about
those moments and laugh at some of the sillier stuff that goes on” said Mandi.
Written by Geraldine
Aron. Directed by Denny Lawrence.
