Play It Again Sam for Javeenbah Theatre
Woody Allen's quirky play that inspired the famous film of the same name, Play It Again Sam, follows the life of Allan Felix, a recent divorcé whose awkward interactions with women have forced him to rely on the advice of his hero, Humphrey Bogart.
Told through a series of hilarious fantasy sequences, Allan's hero Bogart comes to the rescue with a fantastic bevy of beauties. With the encouragement of his alter ego, he actually tries dating again, with less than satisfactory results at first.
Javeenbah Theatre Company on the Gold Coast brings this Woody Allen story to the stage from 13th– 28thMarch 2015, directed by Roger McKenzie.
“We’re currently in rehearsals for this show and it’s going wonderfully,” Roger said.
“In this unique comedy, worlds collide as Allan attempts to navigate the unfamiliar territory of falling in love. Play It Again Sam captures the heart and follows Allan on his quirky, fantastic journey.
“We can’t wait to take audiences on this journey with us,” Mr McKenzie said.
Woody Allen, though best known for his films, has also enjoyed a very successful career in theatre. Play It Again, Sam opened on Broadway in 1969, played for 453 performances and was nominated for three Tony Awards.
