Maybe its a play on words? Or maybe that was.  Whatever the case do yourself a favour if your in Melbourne town this week and see Welcome Strangers current offering…

It’s called THIS IS GOOD ADVICE, and is two short plays  - “This is a Chair” by Caryl Churchill and “Advice to Iraqi Women” by Martin Crimp.

Lauren Barnes as done an outstanding job directing the Welcome Stranger massive in her first native production after spending the last year working in London.  Not forgetting the Welcome Strangers themselves who have all made outstanding personal contributions to make these plays their own, some of wich you might recognise from Summer Heights High, Ocen Girl and other Australian Televisual favourites.

It is showing Wed - Sun until 10th Feb,  show starts at 8pm, be sure to check it even if it is only in an effort to get yourself a couple of degrees of separation closer to Chris Lily.
