So here's the skinny...
Rian Johnson's impressive 2005 teenage neo-noir Brick has been adapted for the stage. A clever chap, Chris White put the production together with his drama class at J.L Mann High School in Greenville South Carolina. For serious, here's the poster:
So then die-hard Brick fans and Filmspotting podcast hosts Adam Kempenaar and Matty Robinson interviewed White about his play, and - by the power of the internets - Macquarie University Drama Society member Christopher Marchand heard the podcast and set about bringing Brick and White to Sydney. (The Filmspotting guys also tell the tale in this week's show (at about 1h4m) - worth a listen just to hear Adam butcher the name 'Macquarie.')
Intrigued? Well you can help send White to our fair shores (or at least the charming concrete jungle that is Club Mac) but pitching in a few bucks here. According to White's blog, Brick will be performed 8pm Friday October 16 at the Lighthouse Theatre at Macquarie University. Additional performances TBA.
Consider me there.
