Kangaroo Island Fringe - Charolais
Theatre and Physical Theatre
• Comedy
Australian Premiere
'Charolais' takes the age old story of female jealousy and gives it a new
twist: the other woman is cow, a literal one, a purebred Charolais
(French) heifer. Noni Stapleton plays Siobhan, whose farmer boyfriend
devotes considerable attention to his prize heifer at the expense of his
very pregnant and disgruntled girlfriend. Siobhan has developed a
homicidal jealousy for this Charolais and is feeling equally murderous
towards her snobbish soon-to-be mother in law. A dark comedy of love and
longing: rarely in theatre are the challenges of farming life and the joy
of sex expressed so frankly or with such charm.
Presented by: Noni Stapleton and Country Arts Southern Australia
