CHAMELEON
FRANK THEATRE
“DELIGHTFULLY, HUMOROUSLY, AND SHREWDLY EXPLORING GENDER AND IDENTITY, CHAMELEON IS A SHOW OF COMPLEXITY AND SALIENCE." (GUTTER CULTURE)
Chameleon is a stirring mash-up of satire, storytelling and physical comedy, smashing stereotypes, exploring gender dynamics and the harmful effects of social conditioning. With wit, vivacity, and whip-smart intelligence, Plummer draws frankly on her own experiences of living and loving in small town Australia and the big smoke of Paris to bare escapades both heartfelt and hair-raising.
Chameleon creates conversation around universal social issues for women, and celebrates pleasure, liberation and sisterhood.FRANK. presented a SOLD OUT run of Chameleon at RUMPUS in September 2020, programmed as part of the 2020 Season. Britt Plummer was joined by a fantastic femme squad of multidisciplinary artists to aid in her quest to disarm the patriarchy with humour, passion and disco in this reimagined version of her critically acclaimed solo show.
Creative Team: Hew Parham (Director), Felicity Boyd, Jules Mayer, Taylor Nobes, Bronwyn Palmer, Taylor Scheid, Poppy Mee, Zola Allen and Erin Perrey.
The Bridge Of San luis Rey
BRINK Productions
It’s 18th century Peru. An ancient Incan rope bridge collapses sending five strangers plummeting to their deaths and unleashing a fabulist’s tale of conspiracy, seduction and betrayal. In this thrilling reimagining of Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer-winning novel, Adelaide’s celebrated Brink Productions brings their unique theatricality to a daisy chain of stories and coincidence that leads five strangers to meet their fate. The incomparable Paul Capsis, in an extraordinary act of theatrical shamanism, inhabits the role of Camila Perichole, the greatest actress of her age, as she draws the audience into an epic narrative that ultimately reveals her own heartbreaking story.
