Europe - Melbourne Theatre Company

By Michael Gow

Europe is a very funny, very witty farcical look at a clash of cultures through rose coloured romantic glasses. But as stated above its much more than that and in order to do the script justice, director James Beach had a challenge on his hands to find two actors who could handle such a sophisticated script without it turning into a a Christmas lunch with a massive ham front and centre. Enter Pippa Grandison (Barbara) and Andrew Henry (Douglas), the dynamic duo. The reason this production is such a joy to watch is because of these two individuals, who together are more than the sum of their parts. Ad a melancholic Barbara and Henry with all of the funny antics of the good old Aussie backpacker. Actors need to have impeccable comic timing and neither slip into silly cliches which can tend to happen when playing a stereotype.
