Dear Friend

Belmont Theatre would like to wish all of our friends, patrons and audience members a healthy, happy and prosperous 2018.

With all the festivities behind us, what better way to stave off those post-festive doldrums than looking forward to a night of top-quality theatrical entertainment at The Pump House.

NEXT MONTH, we will be presenting Peter Quilter's cracking comedy, The Actress. Some performances are already well over half full so please book soon to be sure of your favourite seats.

A poignant comedy, dramatizing the events backstage as Lydia, a 
colourful, complicated actress makes her farewell performance, 
while dealing with a string of unexpected visitors..

Drama and comedy collide as people say their goodbyes, declare their love, roar with laughter, spit insults, grab a final embrace, and renew old battles.

Some wonderfully comic dialogue to have you chuckling until the final curtain.

Written in 2014 and premiered in the US the same year, The Actress has since had productions in Germany, Brazil, Russia and the UK.

Reviews..."The audience was thrilled and greatly moved by the show" - Dez Minutos de Arte 

"A huge success...  The applause just didn't want to end...The play is full of witty dialogue that is also philosophically profound...A smart, intelligent and very amusing play." - The Mercury
"This play is so rich...Quilter's characters ring true" - Woodinville Weekly
