Stretch Of The Imagination

Cranky curmudgeon, Monk O’ Neil, pontificates with wit and wisdom from his remote Aussie shed ruminating about his less than ordinary life. Actor Wayne Pearn is set to reprise the iconic modern-day Lothario from Jack Hibberd’s classic and arguably best monodrama, A Stretch of the Imagination.

Peninsula local Arthur O’Bryan has arranged this performance to raise funds for Somers Pre-School. Everyone involved, including the playwright, have forgone royalties and volunteered their time to bring Monk O’Neill out of the mothballs to regale his audience with a philosophical soliloquy expounding on his wild and eccentric adventures through a life well lived.

For a really good laugh see A Stretch of the Imagination for its one-day only performance at the Coolart Wetlands on Saturday, June 7 at 3pm. Warning: Not suitable for children under 15! Bookings on 5983 1657 or 0438 598 997 or artyo@westnet.com.au
