‘Sunday Night at the Hayman Theatre’

‘Sunday Night at the Hayman Theatre’. The tradition of two 45-minute plays for $10 continues, as it has for three decades. Each week one of the plays changes, so for example ‘The Last Tango at Little Grimley’ will be replaced next week by a new play. The shows are also presented at lunchtimes on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The season runs until the end of semester. There will be about a dozen quality shows each with two plays.

At present the New Hayman (building 302) has had asbestos fibres discovered in the roof and so the course’s productions have been moved down to the Sculptor’s Workshop in building 203 in the south east of the Curtin University campus.

The shows will be presented there for the next month or two, however, the temporary rig is quite impressive with all of the high-tech lighting and sound desks and tiered seating.
