1 2 More Female Parts Sara Hardy , 2015 single work drama humour

'A virtuoso one-woman theatre piece full of humour, heart and wit.

'Evelyn Krape explodes onto the stage in a highly physical, comic and utterly engaging performance. With director Lois Ellis, she revisits the characters from her headline-making 1980s play Female Parts, now thirty years on.

'Comprising three monologues, More Female Parts celebrates women of all ages with ardour and invention, exploring issues from the perspective of a “mature” woman and her barely recognised place in the community.

'With great physical skill, Evelyn allows the audience to experience the sexism and inequality that still exists for all women today, in a comic and dramatic tour de force. Bold characters confront divorce, the glass ceiling, and control within a relationship, in a hilarious and highly theatrical style.

'Written by Sara Hardy especially for Evelyn Krape's unique talents, this is a must-see performance.' (Production summary)

1 Queer Fruit Sara Hardy , 1998 single work drama young adult Three women, three lives, three centuries. Three women whose stories form links in the long chain that has quietly coiled its way through Queer History. All gayfully laced together by the Queer Fruit chorus. Willa, the youngest, in the 21st century, has an outrageously sexy encounter playing with fountains, fruit and loose lips. Eddy, the oldest, in the 1970s, recounts her love life and a certain experience with buttoned up nighties during World War 2. Margaret, 40, in the early 19th-century, tells of the love life that got her transported as a convict to Australia and how a poached egg was the ruin of her. Source: www.australianplays.org
