Pantomime will appeal

Sally McGlewMidland Kalamunda Reporter

The play, Jungle Juice, was written by Queensland playwright Judith Prior.

Specialist drama program co-ordinator Kate Rogers said the premise was of a simple unsophisticated tribe's reaction to the arrival of three people from the outside world.

"When the plane lands on the beach, out of fuel and hopelessly lost, the two rock stars and their press agent can only think of returning to civilisation," she said.

Ms Rogers said the island had a severe male shortage and the natives were restless.

The play is satirical in nature and sends up everything to do with the jungle.

Guest appearances by such unlikely characters as a game hunter, two rock stars and a witch-doctor, a witch, Tarzan and Jane and Babaloo, the Island God are all on stage at some part of the script.

The play consists of an ensemble cast from years 9 to 12.

The show is at Swan View SHS performing arts theatre (parking off Weld Rd) on August 5, 7 and 8. All shows begin at 7pm.

Tickets $15 for adults and $10 concession. Book by emailing Kate.rogers@education. wa.edu.au or by calling 9294 0184.
