Fairly Lucid Productions is proud to bring back, Readings in the Rough Play reading Series. The series invites the audience to play a part in the dramaturgical process of writing a script.
In an open discussion the audience helps to form what the play can become in this important stage of first public readings.
The playwright will present a few questions to you prior to the reading. Once you watch, you can then provide feedback for the playwright that will assist in their next stage of redrafting. The series will feature a new play every two months from around the world.
For our return series, we are proud to introduce to Canadian audiences a reading of a new work from Award Winning Australian playwright - Maxine Mellor.
Maxine Mellor is a multi-award winning playwright. Maxine won the Queensland Theatre Company’s Young Playwright’s Award in 2001 for Stuck, in 2002 for Boy Slaughter, and in 2003 for Little Hitler’s Ode to an Austrian Bentwood; QTC’s George Landen Dann Award in 2005 for Magda’s Fascination with Wax Cats; a Matilda Award for Best New Work for Production in 2005; and a Matilda Award nomination for Best Emerging Artist in 2008. She was made Associate Writer with QTC from 2006-2008 where she wrote Fading Franky Knight with Wooden Eyes Watching / Handicraft.
