"The French accents and pronunciation by every cast member were outstanding, especially Geoffrey who had most of his script in French which he delivered with French hand movements and mannerisms. Jess could be a fire hazard in the dry season – she was hot. No man was safe.

"The costumes by Merri Ford capture the 1930s perfectly but is the outfits for the wild Students’ Ball that bring the smiles.

"In only her second major show, international swimming champion Marie-Ève Cigna proved she never tackles anything half-heartedly. Kaitlyn was often the calm in the storm, stoically carrying a tray through the fray. Kane was delightful as the poor innocent student desperate to learn – everything.

"From wild Brian to the temperamental Hon. Alan, then from the enigmatic Commander to Diana’s brother Kenneth. The characters were clearly defined by the experienced, dedicated director Barry Parks.

The Glass Menagerie - Reviews



Kimberley Shaw in Stage Whispers:

"An interesting experiment that gives us pause for thought and throws new ideas on a familiar and much-loved text. A good choice for those who really like to think about theatre and style..."




Lucy Eyre in Theatrepeople:

 "...the commitment of all involved created a seamless production that was refreshing.

Myles Wright’s haunting sound design, particularly the main theme composed by Wright, is beautifully poignant and wistful..."




Gordon the Optom in WA Theatre Reviews and Database:

"...The chemistry between all the actors was impeccable...

"As expected from GRADS, this play is top quality, powerful and outspoken, yet sensitively handled.
This is a ‘must see’ production of a modern international masterpiece..."
