IT MAY sound like science-fiction - but the latest play at Phoenix Theatre in Western Australia is actually about a dysfunctional family. Written by Paul Zindel and directed by Jane Sherwood, The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds focuses on a single mother, her two daughters and their abysmal status in life. Encouraged by her teacher, daughter Tillie undertakes a gamma ray experiment with marigolds that wins her a prize, serving as a metaphor that something full of promise can emerge from the most barren environment. Originally written in 1964, The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds was made into a film by Paul Newman in 1972, featuring his wife Joanne Woodward. The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds plays at 8pm, June 26, July 1, 2 and 3 with a 2pm matinee on June 27. Tickets are $20 adults, $15 concession - book on 0450 158 851, phoenixbookings@hotmail.com or through BOCS on (08) 9484 1133. Phoenix Theatre is located on the corner of Rockingham Road and Carrington Street within the Hamilton Hill Memorial Hall, Western Australia.
