ABOUT THE EPSIODE

For the Love of Theatre Podcast introduces cast members, Tony Busch, Dora Stamos, Wade Cook, along with Director, Rosie Aust, who discuss everything behind-the-scenes for this production of Wrong Turn at Lungfish by the Galleon Theatre Group.

ABOUT THE PLAY

"A Play Filled with Wit, Wisdom, and Second Chances"

The title refers to an evolutionary hypothesis that man's path from bug to beast wasn't about developing the most sophisticated survival equipment; his development was simply the product of "a wrong turn at the lungfish".

Funny, heartfelt, and filled with wisdom, Wrong Turn at Lungfish is a must-see for those who know that sometimes, life's best lessons come from unlikely places.

MORE ABOUT THE PLAY

Seven eccentric characters are thrown together in a rundown hotel. They are all trying to find meaning in their life and a way out of the hotel towards a re-imagined future.

You will love their absurdist and humorous interactions and find yourself questioning your own purpose in life amidst the laughter.

As one of the characters says,

"My life just seems to go on,

but without me in it".

THE GLASS MENAGERIE

Written by TENNESSEE WILLIAMS

Directed by Clinton Nitschke

The University of Adelaide Theatre Guild Student Society

Featuring interviews with CAST MEMBERS, Jessica Merrick (Amanda Wingfield), Connor Duncan (Tom Wingfield), Mia Livingston-Pearce (Laura Wingfield), Liam Warmeant (Jim O’Connor) and DIRECTOR, Clinton Nitschke, with SPECIAL GUEST HOST Laura McLeod (Stage Manager).

'So what are we going to do now, honey, the rest of our lives? Just sit down in this house and watch the parades go by? Amuse ourselves with the glass menagerie, darling? Eternally play those worn-out records your father left us as a painful reminder of him?'

A drama of great tenderness, charm and beauty, The Glass Menagerie is one of the most famous plays of the modern theatre.

Amanda Wingfield is a faded, tragic remnant of Southern gentility who lives in poverty in a dingy St. Louis apartment with her son, Tom, and her daughter, Laura. Amanda strives to give meaning and direction to her life and the lives of her children, though her methods are ineffective and irritating. Tom is driven nearly to distraction by his mother's nagging and seeks escape in alcohol and the world of the movies. Laura also lives in her illusions. She is crippled, and this defect, intensified by her mother's anxiety to see her married, has driven her more and more into herself.

When a gentleman caller arrives for dinner, the Wingfield family is flooded with hope. However, it is uncertain if this visitor will change things for the better.
