‘DOUBT’ STAGED BY STAG Max Bygraves dies at 89

● Max Bygraves

South Pacific opens

■ Veteran singer-comedian Max Bygraves, who had been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, has died at the age of 89.

He emigrated from Bournemouth to the Gold Coast in 2005.

He appeared in many Royal Command concerts.

‘The Well’ plays at La Mama

● Jack Beeby in The Well opening at La Mama Theatre on September 13. Photo: Sarah Walker ■ The Well is being presented at La Mama Theatre from September 13-30.

Devised with Monash University Student Theatre, The Well is a new work based on an original text by writer/ director Robert Reid.

It uses a physical theatre approach to explore the collapse of the real, rituals of the absurd and global weirding.

When the earth’s magnetic poles flip and the planet falls out of orbit, life on the ground gets colder and crazier.

Long lost civilisations turn up in the drive through, exgirlfriends turn into crude oil and the edge of the universe is a giant super charged cloud of candy floss.

Even by comparison, Gareth and Elliot are having a strange day. Gareth is going blind and travelling backwards through time and Elliot is turning into a giant ant. It’s the strangest end of the world you can imagine.

The Well is an immersive production in which the audience are given the freedom to move around and engage with the performance from all different angles, pass whispered stories amongst each other and help construct the physical images of the show.

The audience becomes the returned ancient Aztec civilisation, wandering through the suburbs catching glimpses of the stories that slip by them in the night of dissolving global sanity.

Performance season: September 13-30.

Times: Wed, Fri, Sun 8.30pm | Thu, Sat 6:30pm Running time: 70 minutes Venue: La Mama Theatre, 205 Faraday St, Carlton Tickets: $25 Full | $15 Concession Bookings: online www.lamama.com.au or call 9347 6142 - Cheryl Threadgold

● Sister James (Jess Maitland) at left, Mrs Muller (Asha Sebastian), Father Brendan Flynn (Andrew Scarborough) and Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Michelle Tanner), in John Patrick Shanley's Doubt: a Parable, being presented in Strathmore until September 8.

■ Mel de Bono's directorial experience of 62 shows shines through in Strathmore Theatrical Arts Group's (STAG) production of Doubt: a Parable, being presented until September 8 at 8pm at the Strathmore Community Hall, Loeman St, Strathmore.

Written by the 2005 Pulitzer Prize Winner for Drama, John Patrick Shanley, the drama is set in New York in the St Nicholas Catholic Church and School.

The story's main theme is the issue of certainty. We learn the consequences of principal Sister Aloysius's suspicion creating doubt about the moral character of Father Flynn, a popular parish priest who coaches boys' basketball.

Father Brendan Flynn is played by Andrew Scarborough, who elevated from stage manager to play this role only three weeks before opening night.

Bravo to Andrew for a fine performance. He captures well the transition from Father Flynn's jovial personality to bewildered devastation.

Michelle Tanner has transformed from a singing and dancing 'Scrubber' in STAG's last production, to impressively portraying the austere, unsympathetic Sister Aloysius Beauvier.

Jess Maitland is gently appealing as the naïve Sister James perhaps a little too softly spoken at times.

Asha Sebastian delivers a naturalistic performance as Mrs Muller, challenging Sister Aloysius with the logical questions many of us would like to ask.

Mel de Bono's artistic direction and determination to achieve the full potential of Shanley's powerful script is evident throughout the production, including his clever set design, constructed by Tony Leatch.

The play leaves us with much to think about. As Shanley's script says: "doubt can be a bond as powerful and sustainable as certainty".

Well done to STAG on another good show.

With book and music by Louis Nowra and Stewart D’Arrietta and directed by Christopher Parker, The Tuxedo and the Little Black Dress stars Stewart D’Arrietta and Rebecca Mendoza.

This is a musical about love, betrayal, romance and the resilience of the human spirit. A man and a woman are suddenly trapped together after an earthquake hits the ballroom of a grand Edwardian hotel.

● Lisa McCune as Nellie Forbush ■ In an era when it's trendy to break new ground and not revisit classics, Opera Australia's forthcoming production of Rodgers' and Hammerstein's great musical South Pacific will be a welcome visit to the theatre for Melbourne theatre and opera lovers.

Kicking off at the Princess Theatre on Thursday, September 13, this particular production of South Pacific has drawn on the best talent from some very different musical genres.

From the world of opera comes one of the world's best bass-baritones in Teddy Tahu Rhodes, in the complex role of Emile La Becque, who gets to sing those timeless standards Some Enchanted Evening and This Nearly Was Mine.

From the world of theatre, TV and musicals, not to mention those early Coles ads as everyone's favourite check out chick, is Lisa McCune as the all-American gal Nellie Forbush, who has to make a few decisions and challenge some inner prejudices.

Interestingly, the Melbourne production has a parallel with the original Broadway production which also mixed the vocal sounds of opera and music theatre, with opera singer Ezio Pinza singing Emile, with Broadway Queen Mary Martin as Nellie - the same Mary Martin who was the mother of Larry Hagman, (JR Ewing in Dallas many years later.)

Cabaret genius and all round singer, writer and actor Eddie Perfect is sure to light up the stage as wisecracking black marketeer Luther Billis - a perfect fit for his talents.

Jazz great Kate Ceberano should make a superb Bloody Mary, having the vocal depth to really belt out Bali Hai, and she is renowned for her terrific stage presence.

Having played the role in London, Daniel Koek, comes to Melbourne to sing his heart out as Lieutenant Cable.

Sometimes it's worth looking at who might be taking the more minor principal roles, and in this production, one of Australia's most enduring and talented music theatre performers will take to the stage as Captain Bracket.

Regular Melbourne theatergoers will have enjoyed John O'May's many fine performances on anything from a Melbourne Theatre Company stage to commercial musicals like Mamma Mia. And for those who love trivia, in the ensemble as Seeable the sailor is Todd Keys, who will be remembered by devotees of the 2006 classical musical reality show Operatunity Oz, as one of the final 20 participants.

He didn't make it to the final, but the former car wash worker went on to understudy Anthony Warlow in Opera Australia's Pirates of Penzance.

Directed by Tony Award winner Bartlett Sher, South Pacific has a 25-piece orchestra conducted by Vanessa Scamell, a favourite conductor of fans of The Production Company shows.

Opera Australia Artistic Director Lyndon Terracini is delighted that this is the first Broadway musical the company has presented.

"South Pacific has many strands, and, apart from its wonderful music, there are the underlying issues of race and prejudice. Bartlett Sher has given us a superb, finely tuned, elegant piece of theatre," Lyndon said..

JIMMY COMING TO AUSTRALIA

● Lachlan Murdoch ■ In a deal worth more than $100 million, Lachlan Murdoch has taken full control of the DMG Radio Australia group which operates Nova 100 and Smooth 91.5 in Melbourne.

He paid cash for the shares, and must also pay a further sum equivalent to 50 per cent of DMG’s final dividend for the financial year ending September 30.

“When we acquired our 50 per cent interest in DMGRA in November 2009 we set out to create one of Australia’s leading media companies.

“Over the past three years, working alongside DMGRA’s wonderful staff, we have successfully implemented our growth strategy,” he said.

KOREAN FILM FESTIVAL

■ After screening a handful of films last year, ACMI - the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, at Federation Square - considerably expands the Korean Film Festival this year, screening 15 films from Saturday (Sept. 8) to Wednesday September 12.

Proudly supported by Samsung and the Australia-Korea Foundation, who have selected a fine range of dramas, comedies, thrillers, documentaries, modern classics, and current boxoffice hits, the Festival will entertain a wide audience.

Please give these movies a chance, you won't be disappointed.

I just wish the thriller The Taste Of Money and the documentary Arirang were screening in Melbourne. For more information please call ACMI on 8663 2583 or visit online on www.acmi.net.au Sunny (2011). 124 minutes. Sat Sep 8, 4.00pm (Opening Film) ****.

Winning, extremely warm-hearted comedy/drama about a group of women who reminisce about their high school friendship back in the mid 1980s.

Sincere, on-target direction never allows the film to become overly sentimental, and is then strengthened by terrific performances from both young and adult ensembles.

A real crowd-pleaser. Was such a big hit that a 136 minute Director's Cut was also released.

The King Of Pigs (2011). 97 minutes. Sat Sep 8, 6.45pm.

Animated drama about bullying in Korean schools. Have not seen.

Old Boy (R) (2003). 120 minutes.

Sat Sep 8, 9.00pm. *****.

Brilliant thriller about a man who, after being imprisoned for 15 years, must try and figure out who did it and why.

A true original, with a magnificent central performance. About to be remade in Hollywood, with Spike Lee (Inside Man) directing and Josh Brolin (Milk / No Country For Old Men) starring.

Bleak Night (2010). 117 minutes.

Sun Sep 9, 1.30pm. ****½ Exceptional drama about a father wanting to find out why his teenage son committed suicide. Outstanding performances and direction highlight this absorbing film.

Christmas In August (1998). 97 minutes. Sun Sep 9, 4.00pm. ****½ Genuinely sweet romantic drama features two wonderful lead performances and a moving yet low-key approach. A great date movie.

All About My Wife (2012). 121 minutes. Sun Sep 9, 6.30pm.

An unhappily married man will stop at nothing to free himself from his overbearing wife.

One of the current box-office champs in South Korea. Have not seen.

Silenced (2011). 125 minutes. Sun Sep 9, 9.00pm. ****.

An art teacher who has just started

at a boarding school for deaf children, soon discovers that a number of the children are being subjected to physical and sexual abuse.

Intense, disturbing drama is sadly based on a true story, and contains some truly harrowing scenes.

Leafie : A Hen Into The Wild (2011). 93 minutes. Mon Sep 10, 10.15am and 6.30pm. ***½.

Stunningly animated film about a battery hen who manages to escape into the wild, becoming a determined mother along the way. Well-handled and quite moving.

The Reason Why I Step (2011). 85 minutes. Mon Sep 10, 6.00pm.

Documentary about a popular folk musician and how Korean music has changed over the years. Have not seen.

The Frontline (2011). 133 minutes. Mon Sep 10, 9.00pm. ****.

Intelligent, well-measured drama set near the end of the Korean War, where both sides battle to capture a hill before the peace armistice is signed.

Despite a number of convincingly staged battle scenes, the film-makers concentrate on the soldiers and how the war has affected them. A strong cast are all excellent.

Late Blossom (2011). 118 minutes.

Tues Sep 11, 6.00pm.

Comedy/drama about a short-tempered milk deliveryman in his 70s, who meets a lonely woman and begins a twilight romance. Have not seen.

Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter..And Spring (MA). 103 minutes. Tues, Sep 11, 6.30pm. ****½.

Set over different time periods, we see a young buddhist monk try and discover himself over the four seasons. Gorgeously shot, this symbolic film is mesmerising, challenging viewing.

War Of The Arrows (2011). 122 minutes. Tues Sep 11, 9.00pm. ****.

First-rate period action film about an expert archer who is relentless in his pursuit to save his sister, who has been kidnapped by a ruthless Manchurian clan.

Expertly handled and performed, with a number of exciting action scenes. A huge box-office hit.

The Client (2011). 123 minutes.

Wed Sep 12, 6.00pm. ****.

Highly entertaining courtroom thriller about a husband accused of murdering his wife, and the two opposing lawyers who lock horns over the case.

Courtroom movies tend to bog down, but this one never does thanks to confident direction, a well-written script, and strong performances.

The Day He Arrives (2011). 79 minutes. Wed Sep 12, 8.45pm (Closing Film).

Knowingly cinematic look at a film director who wanders through Seoul thinking about what might have been.

Have not seen.

BIG MOVES AT CAULFIELD

■ The Melbourne Racing Club has been given the green light to develop land surrounding their track, Caulfield.

The Club and the Beck Probuild Consortium have concluded an agreement to develop five hectares of land adjacent to the Caulfield Racecourse, Caulfield Train Station and the Monash University.

The winning consortium is a joint venture between the Beck Property Group and Probuild Constructions.

Beck Property Group is one of Australia's foremost developers renowned for the quality and community integration of their developments.

Probuild Constructions is a Melbourne-based Australian construction business who has built a reputation as one of the leading construction brands in Australia.

The new project will create a thriving, integrated, mixed use community with access to major transport routes, shopping and recreation designed to integrate with the character and facilities of the surrounding community.

There will three primary precincts.

Precinct 1 to the west of the development being a low/ medium density residential area designed to integrate into the surrounding existing neighbourhood and streetscapes.

Precinct 2 will be a mixed used precinct with active street frontages, tree lined laneways and a vibrant exciting retail including a supermarket and specialty shops.

There will also be a restaurant hub established around the new Boulevard road link.

Precinct 3 will encompass the Smith Street precinct based in the eastern section of the site adjacent to the Caulfield Railway Station comprising a mix of commercial, residential and retirement accommodation.

A new street,’The Boulevard’, will be created and the heart and soul of this project.

The development is expected to take up to 15 years to com-

plete and include in excess of 1500 dwellings of varying production mix and configuration, office and retail offerings, including a full line supermarket, pharmacy, cafes, restaurants and lifestyle health and gym facilities.

During construction the development is expected to generate to up to 5000 jobs and an ongoing 1110 jobs once completed contributing to local and broader economic growth.

The first construction is anticipated to commence within two years.

The Melbourne Racing Club is a permanent stakeholder in the area and as such has committed that the development planning process will ensure that development adds significant energy, lifestyle and cultural strengths to Caulfield.

In that respect the choice of the Beck Probuild Consortium has been important in ensuring that the development is a worldclass residential and mixed use development designed to enhance all aspects of the surrounding community and racecourse.

The Melbourne Racing Club is also undertaking major enhancements to the infield of the Caulfield Racecourse to provide a major community benefit covering: ■ 5 activated precincts leash area ■ Exercise pads.

■ A jogging trail.

■ Lake Pathway.

■ BBQ Facilities.

■ Toilet facilities.

■ Picnic area.

■ Children soft sail facility.

■ Dog off ■ Junior football pitch.

Parking for the new project will be produced to outline the timing and detail at the development as master plans are finalised.

Well done Melbourne Racing Club, it will be a ripper when completed, and maybe I can book in early for one of the retirement units.

PAKENHAM TAKES HONOURS

■ The Pakenham Racing Club has taken out the prestigious Country Racing Club of the Year Award, much to the delight of all at Pakenham.

Chief Executive Michael Hodge was over the moon when he told me, they were ecstatic, when they received the nod from the Minister for Racing Dr. Denis Napthine, at the Country Clubs big awards night.

Dr. Napthine said that the progressive club received the accolade for its overall performance in the 2011-2012 season.

This included attendance, local community involvement and profitability, and had set the standard for Victoria's country racing industry.

“Pakenham Racing Club's win is a testament to the outstanding quality of country racing

in Victoria,” Dr Napthine said.

The fact that the Club keeps improving year after year, shows we have a mighty industry that is among the world's best," Dr Napthine said.

Seven awards were presented during the gala dinner at the Melbourne Convention Centre, including the Neville Wilson Medal for Victoria's leading country jockey won by Dean Yendall.

The George Hanlon Medal for the State's leading country trainer was won by Darren Weir Congratulations to Michael Hodge, his team, and Chairman Don Duffy and his hard working Committee.

I am proud to say I enjoy working for the Club on race days on a regular basis.

AFL: FINALS TIME: ‘H’ HAS HIS SAY

■ My Say: The first week of Finals decided. 1 v 4 (Haw v Coll) ; 2 v 3 Crows v Swans; 5 v 8 WCE v North Melb; 6 v 7 Geel v Freo.

One, if independent would suggest the four winners pick themselves – Hawthorn, Crows, WCE and Geelong – but it’s Finals time! ★★★ My Say: Someone else has observed (NOT our umpires) Ruckmen infringe at ball-ups, throw-ins, even going for marks.

I’m disgusted this aspect of the game is allowed and we miss the art of sublime ruckmen plying their trade – weak umpiring. ★★★ My Say: Gill McLachlan advises the media and the AFL his decision to stay or go to the NRL by Wednesday.

Take it and grow.

I don’t see a problem. He is obviously a brilliant, talented, sleek, suave dresser and presenter with a young family who should come first as this job secures and sets up his and the family’s financial future.

Time, life is fickle. Things can change. If the AFL lifted your salary to $1.5M there would be “hell to play” from the clubs and other ‘like’ executives.

It’s similar to our star AFL coaches and players setting a minimum figure of $1m plus by Ross Lyon and soon Mick Malthouse and players Gary Ablett and Tom Scully and his dad.

So $500,000 for a top coach or player is now no big deal –even though

Be nice to the people on your way up the Ladder as you have to meet them again on the way down!

Harry Beitzel www.squidoo.com/harrybeitzel the game can’t afford it. ★★★ My Say: I feel for Hawk Brent Guerra missing his chance of a premiership flag. His achievement is commendable to all kids. ★★★ My Say: To a favourite family, Fos and son Mark ‘Chocco’ Williams thanks, for input to GWS. Good hunting with the Tigers. ★★★ My Say: Hey Mick M, it sounded somewhat superior you’ll see Carlton about the coaching job when it suits

you. No hurry!

Reminded me of a Roy Wright, Richmond dual Brownlow winner’s quote, “Be nice to the people on your way up the Ladder as you have to meet them again on the way down!”
