 I Can Hear Them in the Walls         Stand Up For Charlie

I Can Hear Them in the Walls

Synopsis:
Slave Labour kicks off Stages of Fear with a tale of terror in which a troubled woman living alone seeks help for her insomnia after hearing strange noises in the walls of her home. After unsuccessful exterminations, she enlists professional, medical help when her sanity is pushed to its limit. It soon becomes apparent however, that the noises are the least of her problems, and the 'help' isn't all what it appears to be. - http://www.theatreview.org.nz/reviews/production.php?id=3507

Stand Up For Charlie

Synopsis:
-

Notes:
A group of stand up comedians deal with grief, guilt and responsibility after the celebrity they verbally destroy at a comedy roast commits suicide. Stand Up For Charlie is a dark comedy centred on the people who make us laugh for a living. It's an examination on what it means to get a laugh out of an audience - and just how far we'll go to do it. When the comedians are invited by a seedy entertainment manager to take part in a 'Post Roast'  a comedy roast dedicated to the already dead Charlie - questions, emotions and the dead are all raised, as the nature of comedy and the power of words are put on display. Just what does it take to roast a dead man? the play promises to be an interesting character study on the pressure it takes to make other people laugh, and how instilling happiness in other people doesn't necessarily guarantee happiness in you. the shallow portrayal of the entertainment industry and the nature of celebrity are elements also explored in the play. It's edgy - the show's subject matter, along with the stand up routines that accompany it and the no holds barred, ugly truth the characters present to the audience allow a controversial look at comedy and what it means to entertain.
