In this series, we ask the experts to provide us with an insight into a scene from a past production.
Episode 1: A View from the Bridge with Elena Carapetis
A View from the Bridge was one of the theatrical highlights of our 2019 season. Elena Carapetis (who played Beatrice) narrates this scene from director Kate Champion’s epic production of the Arthur Miller classic.
In this dramatic scene from Act II, Elena reveals how an unconventional rehearsal method led to one of Beatrice’s most dramatic moments.
A View from The Bridge, directed by Kate Champion, assistant directed by Clara Solly-Slade, set design by Victoria Lamb, costume design by Enken Hagge, lighting design by Chris Petridis, composition and sound design by Jason Sweeney, starring Brett Archer, Bill Allert, Elena Carapetis, Antoine Jelk, Chris Asimos, Dale March, Mark Saturno and Maiah Stewardson.
Episode 2: Jasper Jones with Nescha Jelk
In this iconic scene from our production of Kate Mulvany’s Jasper Jones, director Nescha Jelk describes how she approached the task of showcasing a cricket game on stage… despite having “zero idea about cricket”!
Kate Mulvany’s adaptation of Jasper Jones, based on the book by Craig Silvey, was part of the State Theatre Company South Australia 2019 program. It was directed by Nescha Jelk with assistant director Anthony Nicola and designed by Ailsa Paterson. Lighting design was by Nigel Levings, with composition and sound design by Andrew Howard. It starred Emma Beech, James Smith, Rachel Burke, Elijah Valadian-Wilson, Roy Phung and Rory Walker.
