Rehearsed Reading: The Wasps. A play in three Acts by Churchill College Fellow and internationally acclaimed poet, novelist and playwright, John Kinsella.

In association with The Marlowe Society, Cambridge U.K., directed by Dr Steve Chinna, with specially commissioned music by Sydney composer Matthew Orlovich.

Venue: Frazer Room, Trinity College, Cambridge, U.K. Admission is free to all.

Details: The play is set in modern-day London, in a rejuvenated 'old house' inhabited by two Australian emigres --- SHIRLEY, a librarian and fan of new-age paraphernalia, and BILL, an embassy worker --- and a hypochondriac among other things. The house is inhabited / invaded by a plague of Wasps --- not Australian paper wasps, and therefore knowable entities for Shirley and Bill, but 'British' wasps --- confused with 'killer' European wasps. From a seemingly banal domestic scenario grows an ever-increasing atmosphere of menace --- not least personified in the figure of STAN, the Exterminator. He is called in when efforts to remove the wasps have failed. Shirley wants to save them, catching them in jars and returning them to the 'wild'; Bill wants them killed --- but has an aversion to letting an 'exterminator' into the house. Stan's attitude is ambivalent --- it is his job to exterminate, but he feels an affinity to the wasps, and perhaps even more of an affinity towards Shirley. The presentation is a rehearsed reading under the direction of Steve Chinna. Incorporating movement, the rehearsed reading will be punctuated by music specially commissioned for the play from Sydney composer Matthew Orlovich.
