Rondo brings an all-women star cast

THE Rondo is kicking off its 2023 season with Girl In Tan Boots, a play about love, loneliness and the struggle to stay visible in a big city.

Directed by Kimberley Greaves, who describes the performance as true crime meets ‘Kath ‘n’ Kim’, the play will have audiences guessing until the very end.

When Hannah goes missing while waiting for a mystery man at a Sydney train station, her friends and family are left to question whether their actions played a part.

Kimberley was drawn to this play because of its all-women cast, and she is excited to bring 10 powerhouse women to the stage to showcase their talent.

The script lures you in with the whimsical comedy of magical realism, but as it unfolds, it leaves you questioning, as women, what or who makes us feel visible.

Starring Rondo favourite Kelly Moran, who plays the detective assigned to Hannah’s case, we also have Rondo legends such as Lillie McNamara and Katherine Turner joining them on stage and a whole cast of brilliant women.

The chemistry between this cast is something you will not want to miss.

The engaging and high-energy performance of Girl In Tan Boots makes for the perfect girls’ night out, so gather your gals and hit the theatre.

Girl In Tan Boots will run from March 9 until March 18, with evening performances and a Sunday matinee.

Theatre lovers can grab their tickets through the Rondo website or by calling Last Call Ticketing on 0415 822 333.
