Boy Out Of The Country
Boasting a stellar cast led by Erica Lovell in her debut-directing role, Felix Nobis’ Boy Out Of The Country is set for its Sydney premiere in Castle Hill next week. Presented by Company of Rogues, the piece will be shown as part of the Pioneer Play Festival for two performances only. With the play being based around the urbanisation of a rural home, director Erica Lovell says, “the content is something I really relate to…I grew up in Tasmania and the Central Coast, both of which have experienced quite a lot of change and development.”
With Nobis’ writing of Boy Out Of The Country being versed in nature, Erica says, “because of my training, the writing makes sense…I’ve let the language speak through the actor’s choices.” When asked how she would best describe the play, Erica went on to say, “Felix Nobis has written a wonderful script…he has somehow managed to write something that is both beautiful and lyrical and poetic and very, very funny.”
Dubbed a modern Australian bush ballad, Boy Out Of The Country features an all-star cast and will be showing at the Pioneer Theatre for two shows only this weekend.
Nov 24. Pioneer Theatre, 14 Pennant St, Castle Hill. $25-$35+b.f. Tickets & Info: www.pioneerplayfestival.com
