She Walks in Beauty

Created by and staring Maya Turei and Bronwyn Wallace (4.5/5)
Two girls enter into a relationship with each other. One is bisexual, the other a religious heterosexual. But love is love and they have it for each other, so what do you do?
 

The staging for this piece was simple but thoughtful. The girls stood facing the audience, talking to us from their perspective but never explicitly stating that they are in relationship with each other. That fact we have to figure out for ourselves.

 
For two first year students to produce a piece of work this polished and professional in only forty hours is amazing. Where Wallace and Turei will go from here I do not know, the sky is the limit for these two ladies. They acted with total conviction and in only minutes I was totally sucked in by them. Their story was real, it was grounded and gritty and I couldn’t tear myself away.
 

Top marks all round, can’t wait to see these girls’ names in lights!
