Two talented Maribyrnong and Hobsons Bay artists will play a big part in the upcoming season of ‘Ghosts’ at Theatre Works.
Footscray resident Oliver Cowen and Altona Meadows resident Phil Hayden will be taking the stage in St Kilda to present this newest adoption of Ghosts.
Both Cowen and Hayden are part of a small but talented crew which will take the recognised Scandinavian sitting-room drama and turn it to the Australian landscape of the late 1800s.
“It is so exciting and everyone is so excited to be in this incredible production with such good actors,” Cowen said.
“They bring such interest which makes it all easier, having people bring you up helps and that is just really what I am feeling.”
Mr Hayden said he has also thoroughly enjoyed the experience working on a project of this kind.
“Working with Steven my fellow cast and the creative team behind this production is proving to be extremely rewarding,” he said.
“Ghosts is shaping up to be an epic, bold and vibrant production. This is one of the most exciting shows I have ever been involved with”
This production of ‘Ghosts’ has been adapted by Jodi Gallagher after Henrik Ibsen, directed by Steven Mitchell Wright.
“I think Stevens’ vision is so exciting and brings a human, very proud to be Australian feeling which I think brings it home for audiences here,” said Mr Cowen.
“People can be familiar with it which I think is really good.”
The show will run from Thursday, May 30 until June 15.
