Wharf 2, Sydney Theatre Company, The Wharf, Pier 4 Hickson Road, Walsh Bay
Urban Theatre Production's acclaimed Stories of Love and Hate is presented at Wharf 2 as part of Sydney Theatre Company's extensive 2011 Education Program (STC Ed), with evening performances on 24 May, 31 May and 3 June 2011, open to both school groups and the general public. Stories of Love and Hate is structured around a series of vignettes based on interviews with people who experienced the Cronulla Riots that took place in Sydney's Western beaches, December 2005. Drawing on the infamous local incident, Stories of Love and Hate interlinks personal stories about the fragile bonds that hold society together. Created by Sydney's Urban Theatre Projects with the communities in Bankstown and the Sutherland Shire, director Roslyn Oades sets out to understand what happened on that summer's day in Cronulla. Using a unique verbatim performance technique called Headphone Verbatim, performers wear headphones and speak along to a carefully edited audio script. The actors channel multiple characters and embody real-life stories, word for word, recreating every cough, stumble and quirk of human speech with authenticity.Stories of Love and Hate was developed in association with Bankstown Youth Development Service.
