I Want To Sleep With Tom Stoppard

(Tamarama Rock Surfers)

This new play is by Toby Schmitz. A young aspiring actor brings his older actress girlfriend home for dinner with his parents. The father, a dentist, has a low opinion of acting as a profession and wastes no time at the dinner table expressing that opinion to the feisty girlfriend who can give as good as she gets.

I Want To Sleep With Tom Stoppard is a witty comedy with an edge. Caroline Brazier as the actress and Andrew McFarlane as the father are standouts and they receive strong support from Wendy Strehlow and Tom Stokes.

A nicely staged production from Tamarama Rock Surfers at the small independent Bondi Pavilion Theatre. I predict this play will be taken up by one of the major professional companies.
