Living Rooms

"It seems that you are in a time warp and that you're walking into some rich history book... witty humorous and quite profound" Lidia Giarratana

"Writer, actor and director Paul Davies has ingeniously constructed a play which breaks down the normal constraints of time and place in theatre.... This is community theatre at its best, socially relevant, artistically challenging, thought-provoking in the contemporary issues it raises." Helen Thompson (The Australian)

"Apart from the incredible precision required to mount this production as smoothly and coherently as they have, and the skills to perform the material with the energy and cunning that they have displayed, TheatreWorks have also had the wit to exploit that most marvelous amalgam of theme, atmosphere, location and contemporary relevance so vital to the success of community theatre. Living Rooms in short, has been without doubt the most interesting play in town for some nine weeks." Geoffrey Milne (Centre Stage)

"The complexity of how these events relate to each other is captivating and enchanting - so much so that you could view the events in any order and still understand."

"This piece of innovative location theatre deals with the tragedy of misused moments... energetic and convincing the script is sharp and extremely witty. Davies premise is that the value of idealists at the turn of the century and during the Whitlam years were never realized, leaving a vacuum of empty rhetoric." Jacqui Macdonald.

"Something more than a history lesson ...I found the location aspect of theatre in this TheatreWorks production, fascinating to say the least." Karen Murphy (Melbourne Times)
