We are back in 1967 at Randwick Racecourse. The protagonist is the perpetually shy and socially awkward Helen (Jacqui Robson), who still does not believe her luck, when the stunning blonde bombshell Linda (Laura Viskovich), immediately sweeps her off her feet.
There is just so much sexual temptation with the outcome totally dependant upon one horse winning a huge amount of cash. Helen unleashes her wildest sexual desires as she tells in exquisite detail, her innermost expectations/thoughts about the need to bed Linda. THE PUNTER’S SIREN concerns adult themes and was written as a monologue play, for one exceptional actress to deliver seven amazingly different characters during its 45 minutes of lust filled and libido driven comedy.
Director Stephen Carnell has chosen his delightful new interpretation, now with two actresses on stage, Helen and her antagonist Linda. Helen has ninety percent of the dialogue, as she superbly delivers six of the characters.
There are the usual expectations, unfortunately the ending was telegraphed, but quickly recovered with a very unexpected fast-paced twist.
THE PUNTER’S SIREN is playing the Blood Moon Theatre at The World Bar, 24 Bayswater Road, Kings Cross until the 4th March.
