The Spook
Directed by Rosane McNamara
Written by Melissa Reeves
March - April 2022
Role of Phyllis Platten and understudy for Trix
“The Spook was such a pleasure to watch, beautifully balancing political comedy, Australian coming-of-age and creative production techniques to deliver a story both thought-provoking and uplifting.”
“The rest of the Bendigo Communist Party branch, including… the glamorous Phyllis (Zoë Crawford), were well-rounded collateral characters to Martin’s spy agenda… they were compellingly played and generated a sense of community in the political outcasts of Bendigo.”
“…This is a very well performed production of a play that first saw light in Sydney at Belvoir in 2004. It strikes a good balance between humour… heart and the necessary historical backgrounding.”
