AWGIE award-winning playwright and actor Stephen House is at The Street this week to take audiences into the seedy Paris underworld, from the banks of the Seine to the all-night sleazy clubs.
Very simply, House plays a homeless man “weaving the shuttles of memory back and forth until the whole threadbare fabric of his life is revealed.”
A nameless protagonist in a sweat-stained vest and oversized greatcoat, he joins a long line of stage tramps, from Charlie Chaplin to the tramps in Waiting for Godot.
House will also present “Fully into it”, a workshop for writers, directors and actors on June 22 from 1-5pm.
“Appalling Behavour,” at The Street Theatre, June 19-29, bookings to 6247 1223 or www.thestreet.org.au
