Heartwarming show is ‘Just the ticket’If you enjoy a heartwarming but funny storyline, you’ll love Just the ticket coming to Latrobe Performing Arts Centre on Monday 11 August from 8pm. By Latrobe City - 31st July 2014 - Back to News Written by West End and Broadway playwright Peter Quilter, this is a new production that is sure to please.
Latrobe City Council’s acting coordinator performing arts and venues, Eloisa Tripodi, said that Just the ticket gently examines the mid-life crisis.
"Susan is scatty, chatty and in a league of her own. Life may have left her friends looking forward to their next facelift, the arrival of grandchildren, or a shred of gossip about the neighbours, but Susan dreams of escape. To hell with middle age. She’s off to relive the fun of her younger years.
"Eccentric, clumsy and unwaveringly optimistic, for Susan the only way forward is back. She wants to feel alive again, to be on the edge – and preferably, seated at the bar. She packs her bag and heads to Sydney to retrace the steps of a holiday she took with friends years ago. Determined to have as much fun as in her 20s, Susan’s adventures lead her back to old ground… but is it like old times?" Ms Tripodi said.
"With a cocktail in hand and an eye on the barman, she sips, slurps and tumbles her way through a hilarious journey of rediscovery. This heartwarming and achingly funny piece will have you reaching for your boarding pass and wondering, where shall we go next?" Ms Tripodi concluded.
Just the ticket will be performed at the Latrobe Performing Arts Centre in Traralgon on Monday 11 August from 8pm. LPA Bar opens from 7pm. To book call the box office on 5176 3333.
