Adrifting a fabulous comedy

Adrifting is a heartwarming comedy with hope (supplied).

Macedon Ranges residents will be able to spend their Thursday night watching a heartwarming and fabulous comedy at the Woodend Community Centre.

The production, which was staged just before COVID lockdowns down, had audiences raving about the show. Residents can catch the next one on March 21, at 7.30pm.

Audience member Jain Thompson said the play is very relevant and funny with the use of the best throw away lines.

“I loved this play… A brilliant script by Michael Gray Griffith,” Ms Thompson said.

“[It’s] a comedy that addresses love’s lost and won death, social issues, unemployment, sickness, wealth and poverty but also celebrates the love of life albeit at times with fruity language and humour.

“Adrifting [is] very relevant and funny with the use of the best throw away lines.

“Rohana had incredible stage presents and she stole the show. Thank you all for a very entertaining afternoon of theatre. I recommend people go to this play. It is great theatre.”

The show follows Taylor, a brilliant young photographer with a problem- he can only photograph the truth.

Since no one wants the truth he’s been hiding in his room, but now, on the eve of eviction he is being offered three different futures by three strong women.

This includes; his mother who wants to protect him, her friend who wants him to become rich by taking glam shots, and his crazy grandmother who wants him to embrace his gift by becoming an independent photojournalist.

In order to adapt to this era where funding for new theatre has dried up, they are initially staging this play in the style of a 1950’s radio play.
