This is Beate’s debut as a director at Ellerslie Theatre. However, she has directed student theatre in both German and English in schools in Sydney and Auckland, directing Molière, Agatha Christie and modern plays. Beate hopes that adults are just as “obedient” as students are. Beate has been involved in several productions at ETS, assisting with props (Lion in Winter), costumes (The History Boys) and she acted as assistant to the director (The Shape of Things and Albert Make Us Laugh). When first reading the one act play “Seat of Power’ by Sally Sutton, Beate thought of a quotation of French playwright Tristan Bernard “In the theatre the audience wants to be surprised but by things that they expect”. |
