‘Lost Property’ by Anne Frost
‘Must see theatre.’
‘Honest and moving text’. Ken Longworth Newcastle Herald.
‘Lost Property’ was first performed by Shakespeare et al in 2007 at the Newcastle Civic Theatre Playhouse, where it received critical and audience acclaim. Set in Stroud it is a drama about the changing landscape of rural NSW within the context of the division of a family farm.
This reality is often extremely problematic in rural areas as it can also mean the division of the family. In the current financial environment the sale of properties that have been within a family, often for generations, is almost unavoidable but does the destruction of one’s history have consequences?
As the play unfolds reminiscence uncovers some happy but also dark and distasteful memories of childhood on the seemingly idyllic farm.
Writer director Anne Frost was raised in Stroud and is the 2007 recipient of the Newcastle City Council CONDA Award for Outstanding Achievement in Theatre.
As a daughter of Stroud Anne is confident in creating ‘real’ characters that echo the struggle, pride, loyalty and humour of rural life.
Anne’s understanding of the constraints of living in a small town have spurred her to tour this fully professional production to rural areas. |
