A Slice of Saturday Night

A Slice of Saturday Night could be called ‘The Babyboomers Right of Passage’. The story unravels just what one has to endure to survive Saturday Night at the Club A-Go-Go.

The cast includes Stephen Morris – Eric “Rubber Legs” Devene, Mitchell Walsh – Gary, Mike Capri – Rick, Nathan French – Eddie, Brooke Edwards – Bridget, Bonnie Woods – Sharon, Holly Leeson – Sue and Talitha Glazbrook – Penny.

As the Basement Theatre is a compact venue, the sound of the four piece band came from an adjacent dressing room and complemented the performers, adding to the 60’s feel. The songs were unknown but the beat caught the swinging sixties vibe.

A simple set with great lighting and sound brought the Club A Go-Go alive as the Babyboomers went through the well worn rituals of racing hormones in the attempt to score.

Steven Day’s production had pace and humor and the audience fell hook, line and sinker for the corny one liners and the ploys used to triumph in pursuing the one of your dreams.

A fun night out for all, not just the Babyboomers.
