This world-class production anchored by superb central performances brings Sunday Reed back to shimmering, incandescent life
The cast of Melbourne Theatre Company's production of Sunday.tephen Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George contains a song titled Children and Art, about legacy, progeny and the creative urge. It could stand as an alternative title to this magnificent new play about Sunday Reed, her great loves and the mark she left on Australian art.
The works are by Nolan , who comes years earlier to the Reeds’ house in Heidelberg as an impoverished artist at the beginning of his career. He is there to see John , but it is Sunday who challenges, cajoles and teases him, accusing him of performing his impoverishment to win favour with the influential couple. In no time at all, Sunday convinces Nolan to move in with them, and the dream of an artists’ colony is born.
What follows is a potent journey into hedonism and licentiousness, although Weigh and director Sarah Goodes wisely steer clear of extended displays of debauchery and focus instead on the minute tensions and niggling doubts that threaten to undermine the idyll. The play’s pacing in the first act is languorous and seductive, almost Chekhovian. All the while, it is building the powder keg that will explode in the second act.
