NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH

Ana, an 80- year- old Hungarian-Australian widow has many stories to share, whether you’re ready to hear them or not.

An unlikely bond is formed on Mary Street as Ana befriends her estranged neighbour Catherine, a scatterbrained aspiring actor. As the two share their stories, wisdom and wounds, they immerse themselves in the world of war torn Hungary in search of a better understanding of what it means to truly be “in the life”.

26th May - 6th Jun 2015, Bondi Pavillion

”I was charmed by Isabella Andronos' clever and minimalistic set and elegant work on costume. But the play itself is chirruped with fatally corny melodrama.”
Daniel Morgan Potts, Australian Stage

”This was a simple but attractive looking production which overcame the limitations of the Bondi Pavilion by having actors walk in from unexpected vantage points.  Clever lighting/ projection (Alexander Berlage/Isabella Andronos) also seamlessly transported it back and forth around the neighbourhood and back in time to Hungary.”
