Floral Notes

Synopsis:
Two women, Iris and Rosemary, were pen pals when they were young girls. In their teenage years they lost touch. Nowadays, Iris lives in a brownstone in New York and longs for a garden on her roof&a sanctuary away from her peculiar family and her busy urban world where she runs an art Gallery. Rosemary owns a large lifestyle property in small town New Zealand. She grows nuts and micro-veggies for the commercial market but lavishes her love on a tiny plot of flowers, just for herself. Through a twist of fate they re-kindle their friendship and Rosemary offers to help Iris transform her New York rooftop into a garden paradise via email. Told with humour and charm, Floral Notes is a touching, sometimes poignant story of these 2 pen pals whose lives are enriched when their friendship is re-newed. Jane has sourced the songs and music for the show in collaboration with Michael Nicholas Williams who will accompany them in performance.

Meat

Synopsis:
Geraldine Brophy's latest play, MEaT is inspired by the current trend for watching cooking demonstrations by celebrity chefs, both local and international. Reinvigorating our taste buds for life. The depth of experience offered by the world of quick and easy' makes us long for the slow and sensual indulgences that we instinctively know mean quality. Things that only time care and skill can render. Like Life really. as well as teasing our taste buds, MEaT takes a humorous look at our attitudes to perfection, the new religion of self- improvement and our love hate relationship with butter and cream and flesh. Celebrity chef, abe Millar, cooks a dish called Crying Lamb live on stage and intersperses it with tall tales from his life. His journey through personal relationships and the central love for his autistic son, Isaac, form the basis of this warm and witty story woven inside a cooking class. Set in New Zealand and starring actor K. C. Kelly, MEaT offers an unusual mix of entertainment style for the Foodie and Theatre buff alike.
