Sydney Theatre Company 2011 - the White Guard

Another week another Russian play, can you believe it!

So after seeing the screen legend Judy Davis last week in the Seagull, this week I choose to have a look at the White Guard starring one woman Miranda Otto and 13 men! Wow what a cast, 13 men and only one strong female role. WOW!

So again slightly long, slightly depressing but overall good and way better with a full cast and additional Andrew Upton Q&A after the show which made the evening so much better and made me realise what the play was all about and the meaning of the staging, the use of song and the task of having an all male cast with one screen gem like Miranda Otto in the mix.

So The White Guard Q&A rates 5 stars and the whole evening rates a pretty impressive 3 and a half white stars with a little vodkha to wash it all down.

Next week no Rusiian plays for me but maybe a spot of Transformers for something light?
