Former Mandurah performer takes on High Fidelity at Roleystone Theatre

Jill BurgessWeekend Kwinana Courier

FORMER Mandurah performer Paul Treasure is taking a journey through the world of break-ups, make-ups and music obsession this month as he takes to the stage in the musical version of High Fidelity at Roleystone Theatre.

The story follows Rob Gordon, a Brooklyn record shop owner in his 30s who is obsessed with making top five lists for everything and always observing, rather than participating, in life.

When his girlfriend Laura leaves him, he goes through a painful re-evaluation of his life and lost loves – with some help from his music – and slowly learns he has to let go of his self-centred world view before he can find real happiness.
