‘…an exercise in darkly comic storytelling… Livermore inhabits these people beautifully, effortlessly switching between characters…
consummate performance…’

Reviews for RED RIDING HOOD THE SPEED HUMP AND THE WOLF

‘You watch a performer of this calibre ratchet up the excitement level to such a pitch, each night, and keep it there, and it sets a standard you measure things against forever.’
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

‘It is an extraordinary privilege to see one of his performances and a mystery why he does not do more of them.’
THE AUSTRALIAN

‘Steal someone’s tickets if you have to but don’t miss it.’
THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

When Roger Lovely has to go away on business for a month he throws himself on the mercy of his neighbours asking them to look after his three children while he is out of town. When he returns from his trip he hosts a dinner party to thank his neighbours for the care they have taken of his beloved Dorothy, Nicholas and Birdy. And so, in appreciation of the kindness of his friends Roger (lovingly) prepares a meal of Bollito Misto, using extraordinary ingredients.

Founding member, Reg Livermore, returns to the Ensemble stage in a strictly limited season of his latest work. Renowned as a performer, writer and director, Reg’s previous productions of Wish You Were Here and Red Riding Hood, The Speed Hump and The Wolf were sold out on their initial and return seasons at the Ensemble Theatre. The Thank You Dinner introduces his latest character, the larger than life, Rose Bay resident, Roger Lovely.
