Mini Theatre Review - SUNDAY at the MTC is one helluva play with a stunning performance from Nikki Shiels as Sunday Reed. I doubt if I will see a better acting performance this year in Melbourne. Actually every one is terrific including Matt Day as John Reed and Josh Mcconville as Sidney Nolan. The show is 3 hours long but acting and writing is so strong that I didn’t notice the time. The play is said to be in the style of something like David Hare’s Plenty. But it felt, particularly in the second act, like an Aussie version of O’Neil’s Long Day’s Journey into Night. Only with a handful of performers, five performers. If you have an interest in Australian art (Nolan’s iconic Ned Kelly series) and great acting (I mean GREAT acting, thanks Nikki) and Theatre like it suppose to be… Challenging and at times unsettling but in the end rewarding! Then this is a must-see show set in Heide about an unconventional threesome. A brilliant production for the first show of the year from the Melbourne Theatre Company. @melbtheatreco #melbournetheatre #melbournetheatrescene #theatre #theatrelife #davidhare #plenty #longdaysjourneyintonight #nikkishiels #mattday #joshmcconville (at Sumner Theatre Southbank) https://www.instagram.com/p/CniBDBrSK4E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
