Ten Times Table

A joint directing effort between John Marwick, Florence McFarland and Will Clannachan brought Alan Ayckbourn's comedy Ten Times Table to the Muritai stage in November 2008. Publicity 2008 Take an English village committee planning a pageant, add a committee of directors from Eastbourne village creating a play about it, and you have Butterfly Creek Theatre Troupe’s hilarious next production of “Ten Times Table” by Alan Ayckbourn. The village committee has been brought together to organise a supposedly uplifting pageant based on an incongruous piece of local history in which the ruling classes crushed an uprising of rebellious workers. Ayckbourn has great fun with the classic committee

The Taming of the Shrew

From 17 - 21 February 2009 we put on a highly successful outdoor Summer Shakespeare production of The Taming of the Shrew as part of 2009 FringeNZ with an all-female cast. This was the Troupe’s 13th annual Shakespeare production. John Marwick, who had then directed 10 of these productions, was intrigued by the challenge of putting on a contemporary version of a comedy that, on the face of it, is about a man who ‘tames’ an unruly wife by starving her and depriving her of sleep. He had originally toyed with the idea of gender-reversal as a way of bringing a new perspective: perhaps if Kate was played

Comedy of Errors

Bard in the Yard for 2012 was Comedy of Errors directed by Florence McFarlane. Publicity 2012 Set in Brisbane with the rancour of World Rugby Cup loss still ringing in the ears of the locals.

Performed on the Muritai School Yard stage, Muritai Road, Eastbourne (in the Hall if wet) 7:30pm.
