Fractured Fairtyale Comes to WestSide – ‘Ruby Moon’

A fractured fairytale from the heart of surburbia, Matt Cameron’s new play ‘Ruby Moon’ comes to the WestSide Performing Arts Centre on Wednesday 26th May.

Presented by Playbox theatre and starring seasoned Australian performers, Heather Bolton and Peter Houghton, ‘Ruby Moon’ is the tale of the day little Ruby sets off from Flaming Tree Grove to visit her grandmother and is never seen again.

The Council’s Manager Performing Arts and Conventions, Rob Robson, said the play begins like a fairytale, but ends somewhere else entirely.

“The playwright, Matt Cameron, performs the theatrical magic of finding dark shadows in primary colours, and what appears to be quite innocent becomes a chilling and haunting mystery.  It’s an intriguing play,” Mr Robson said.

“The play was written with the remarkable talent of Peter Houghton in mind, and together with Heather Bolton they bring to life the parade of enigmatic characters that inhabit the world of Flaming Tree Grove.”

Ruby Moon has been selected to be studied on the VCE Theatre Studies monologue list for 2004 and is must-see viewing for students and parents alike. 

Don’t miss ‘Ruby Moon’ at the WestSide Performing Arts Centre on Wednesday 26th May. Tickets are available at the Riverlinks Box Office on 5832 9511, or in person at the Eastbank Centre, Welsford Street, Shepparton.

“Playbox Theatre will also hold a theatre workshop for interested people on Wednesday 26th May from 10.00 am to 2.00 pm”, Mr Robson added.

Tickets for the workshop are $10.00 and must be booked at the Riverlinks Box Office.  For more information, contact the box office on 5832 9511.
