The Furies Presented at Access Theater Feb 4 - 22

The production Company will present the world premier of The Furies performing at  Access Theater, February 4th - 22nd.  THE FURIES is an irresistible dark comedy that addresses excessive wealth and the ways it distorts loyalties and undermines relationships. Founded to introduce new Australian plays to American audiences, The Production Company bursts onto the scene with THE FURIES, a shocking, vicious comedy that follows the arc of a classical tragedy.  
THE FURIES provides a merciless view of an established Melbourne suburb, where a sudden matricide creates suspicion and paranoia among its well-heeled inhabitants.  The unknown killer in their midst has everyone looking at one another in a new light.  When a fifty-something mother fails to appear at an important family function, obsessive fear finds a voice.  As suspicion grows, high emotions, paranoia, insecurity and greed emerge.  
THE FURIES stars award winning actress Maria Theodorakis.  Ms. Theodorakis, a native of Australia, will play the role of Voula in what will be her New York debut.  She received the Australian Film Institute Best Actress award in 2002 for her role in film Walking on Water.  
Playwrights Trudy Hellier and Elise McCredie are both established writers in Australia and the U.S.  Ms. Hellier received five national productions and one international production with the award winning script Trapped.  Several award winning films later she brings us THE FURIES with Elise McCredie who boasts three AFI nominations, an AWGIE award and a film shown at the 1999 Cannes film festival.
 
    THE FURIES will be performed at Access Theater, 380 Broadway, 4th Floor 2 blocks south of Canal St., at the corner of White St.  All tickets are $15 and can be purchased through TheaterMania. www.TheaterMania.com. Tel - 212 352 0255.
