Adelaide Fringe 2011
Rocket Town opens to emotional reviews
Rocket Town a play by Emily Steel opened last night at the 2011 Adelaide fringe to I believe a full house. The play based on the experiences of two "teenagers" growing up in remote outback town explores their troubles and joys and worries living in such a transient town.
Dee Easton plays the part of Jess,she has been in the town for 2 years and has just discovered that the family will not be returning to the city.
Sam Calleja plays Josh, he is new to town and excited by its prospects and stars.
Audience members have been Tweeting and reporting on FaceBook this morning about their surprise at the detail and hidden knowledge portrayed in the play.
"It was like I was in a time warp", one commented. Feeling that the play had transported her back to the time she had lived in the town of Woomera, South Australia.
To gain that level of detail Emily traveled to Woomera and spent the time to chat with some of the current locals. Returning with the cast so they could also absorb that "Woomerite feel".
