Baiting Leviticus performances in April!
April 4th, 2008 at 10:05pm brian
Our friend Gordon Truefitt brought us news of another English language production going up in April:
“Baiting Leviticus”, a new clerical comedy by John Owen McKillop
When the newspaper-headline problems of “The Church”, land smack-dab in the lap of a lowly, hardworking parish priest the results are….
Messy? - Yes. Personal? - Yes. Very `real`? - Oh yes! … and HILARIOUS!!!

The Rev. Harold is so depressed by the public bickering, posturing and fallings-out between the bishops and other leaders of the Anglican Church; he decides to ignore them all and bury himself in work at his own core values of: clothing and feeding the poor, supporting the weak and oppressed, and preaching the Gospel. All very worthy; but blinding too to what`s going on in his own churchyard. When eventually his eyes are opened, he finds; all the many and manifold sins that he accuses his superiors of, being recreated by his own nearest and dearest. Not suprisingly he goes thermo-nuclear; fortunately for us in the `Interval`. What is suprising is the nature of the fallout; which is unexpected and eye wateringly human in a number of ways.
CAST: Rev. Harold - Gordon Truefitt, Beth,his wife - Andrea Miltner, Chris,his best friend - R. Scott Williams, Gary,a maidenly member of the Church Board - John Owen McKillop.

A waste of time and money.
The egomaniac playwrite seems to need every moment on stage to revolve around himself.
He would do best to remove himself from the equation.
The best part of the evening was the food, however I do not go to the theatre to eat.
