“’Love Bites’ is a production put on by the theatre company based in Nambucca that I have been involved with as writer and stage manager, and this is the first time we have brought a production to Coffs Harbour and further to the community,” Stage manager and playwright Willa Hogarth was pleased to inform NOTA.

Comprising a collection of eight semi-interspersed vignettes, the short impressionistic scenes focus on events and characters that give a direct impression of situations revolving around love, family and marriage, all of which resonated with the audience.

The works of The Wyz Wimmin’s dedicated playwrights – Kathleen Crawley, Willa Hogarth and Carrolline Rhodes – were competently delivered on stage by the cast which included Laura Astle, Kathleen Crawley, Helen Kirkpatrick, Frederick Millard and Anama Tesser.
The production team is proud to proclaim, “As a visionary company we s
upport passionate performers and playwrights, with an ongoing aim to take theatre to the people.”
