Flying Solo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flying Solo is an Australian play written by Bruce Venables and Richard Fidler.
The play explores society's last great taboo: masturbation. This ‘gentle art’ has been tackled in movies such as “There’s Something About Mary” and even “Angela’s Ashes”. It was the subject of one of the funniest “Seinfeld” episodes ever (referred to as “The Master Of Your Domain”) yet this is the first time a theatre production has tackled this subject head on.
Flying Solo premieres at Riverside Theatre, Parramatta (Sydney) on March 6 2007 with a cast that features some of the most iconic figures in the Australian entertainment industry. With direction by Judy Nunn, the cast features Noeline Brown, Barry Quin, Paula Duncan, Enda Markey and Jacinta John.
Producers are Ryan Ludlow and Gaz Benson for Flying Solo Presents.
In the spirit of The Vagina Monologues FLYING SOLO is an insightful, entertaining and informative production about society's last great taboo subject; masturbation. Bruce Venables and Richard Fidler's play blows the lid on this touchy topic once and for all. Using monologues, comedy sketches and musical numbers, myths are tossed aside and the celebration of self-discovery is embraced. Australian actress and international best-selling author, Judy Nunn, directs five of Australia's top stage and screen stars; Noeline Brown, Barry Quin, Paula Duncan, Enda Markey and Jacinta John in a mile-a-minute romp. These acclaimed performers scrutinise the history and politics of 'the gentle art', from the time of Moses to the present day, laying bare the facts in a hilarious and wildly emotional roller-coaster ride as they reveal the nuts and bolts of masturbation.
