on this day in 1990 the world thought it would end, with the appearance of Haley’s Comet…well it didn’t but the planets, comets and stars are ever present at EVE. this morning i have begun to read a book a dear friend gave me, and the beginning is this:
“When one has weighed the sun in the balance
and measured the steps of the moon
and mapped out the seven heavens
star by star
there still remains oneself.
Who can calculate the orbit of his own soul?”
(Oscar Wilde, from De Profundis)

Oscar is residing at Metro Arts presently, as EVE…would you like to join us? Till May 26, 2012:

How fast it goes: we have finished Week 1 of EVE at Metro Arts, 109 Edward Street Brisbane (www.metroarts.com.au).

We begin at 7.30pm, and on Tuesday night we have an artist talk afterwards (that is May 15, 2012). The show is only a little over an hour, so you will still have time for a drink in Verve after the artists’ talk. If you are interested in theatre, literature, motherhood, family, artmaking, writing, designing please come and ask questions and talk about what you thought as you watched the show unfold.

For those of you who have seen the show thank you so much for coming. We would be so happy if you spread the word in your contacts and networks so that we can entertain as many people as possible over these next ten performances.

I warmly invite you to come to EVE, a show that is dear to my heart. I am performing at Metro Arts. 109 Edward Street Brisbane 7.30 Tuesday-Saturday, 9th-25th May, 2012

Dear Friends,

This is a show that is dear to my heart: i have written about Eve, a forgotten Australian writer, who wrote exquisitely and lived deeply. She found it difficult to belong and Australia found it difficult to accept her eccentricities. It would mean a lot to me if you joined me one evening, especially early in the season when tickets are easier to get.To book tickets please phone 07 3002 7100 or visit metroarts.com.au

Performing with me is Stace Callaghan, an award winning Brisbane actor (Best Actor Matilda Award 2011) and the outrageous Moshlo, violinist extraordinaire.
Please come, and allow me to entertain you,
warmest
Margi

Eve: 9th May-25th May Tuesday-Saturday 7.30
and if you want to eat before hand, or afterwards:

VERVE is a unique restaurant/bar downstairs from the theatre, and i recommend their pizzas (you can order gluten free if you like), pasta, ciders and wine. Very well priced, excellent food, and they will get you to the theatre in time. The cast have a small drink down there after the show and you are welcome to join us. To book call 32215691 (it is very popular i recommend booking)

INVITES YOU to MEET EVE:
Margi Brown Ash, crawls beneath the skin of Australia’s Virginia Woolf: The enigmatic Eve Langley. This is the story of a poet and a writer caught somewhere between the domestic and the artistic, between the grip of Oscar Wilde and the realm of the Gods.
Unfurling in fragments of poetry , Eve is revealed as a reluctant mother and a passionate artist who longs to be left alone to interpret through viciously beautiful prose. Part memoir, part fiction, part homage to the sacrifice of the artist, this is a story for anyone who’s ever felt they never belonged, trapped in their own skin, called by the planets but stuck precariously on a shaky middle-ground.

For 3 weeks from the 9-26th of May at Metro Arts as a part of The Independents this is a work not to be missed.

To book tickets please phone 07 3002 7100 or visit metroarts.com.au

We look forward to seeing you there.

EVE opens this week

Eve…a look into the dialogical self

Margi Brown Ash — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 22:53:23 +0000

The question…”Who am I becoming?”…King Lear’s question “who is it that can tell me who I am?”
Eve is a story of an artist who is searching…working out what happened to her…even though this play is about a writer, it is pertinent to anyone who has had a dream…

EVE opens in THREE WEEKS at METRO ARTS (9 May 2012)
