Ella Ferris (a Taribelang woman) is Wiradjuri woman Evonne Goolagong - from the three year old Griffith girl in a tin shanty with a dirt floor, to the top woman tennis player in the world - and wife and mother.  Ella Ferris is at the sparkling centre of Sunshine Super Girl  - and she holds the show together.  She looks like an athlete, she’s charming and she has the lithe grace of a dancer.  Evonne’s sweet sense of wonder when she flies in a plane for the first time, and her undiluted joy when she wins, never leaves her, but it is undergirde

From the creative minds behind Chicago and Cabaret, Kander and Ebb's Curtains is, at its core, a celebration of the stage, made by theatre makers for theatre makers.

“Ensemble : a group of people or things that make up a complete unit (such as a musical group, a group of actors or dancers)”.

Ensemble is an overused word in theatre. Quite often it is used to refer to the chorus. Marie Clark Musical Theatre have chosen a truly ensemble theatre piece in I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change and have cast it with an incredibly talented team of four performers. Having said that, there are really eight, two casts of four, the Rose team (who feature in this review) and the equally talented Trentell cast!
