| Tom Holloway's And No More Shall We Part (Jacqy Phillips as Pam) |
Well my debut show in Adelaide, Tom's Holloway's And No More Shall We Part is almost coming to the end of its run
and it has been an emotional roller coaster ride. It has been an absolute honour and pleasure directing this magnificent play. I have loved working with the cast and creative team and the commitment, openness and generosity that they have brought to the process.
Never before have I had to endure a press night whereby I knew so many of the faces in the room and none of them had ever seen my work before. Thankfully, it appears to have been well received, here are some snippets from a few of the reviews:
Yasmin Gurreeboo's direction should be praised for her casting and her collaboration with the actors. Her treatment gives the work depth; highlights the complexities of Pam's decision to end her life; and yet challenges the audience's preconceptions about love, marriage and beliefs at every turn. This is simply an excellent production and the Director earns emotional responses because of the deft manner in which she's directed her players...And No More Shall We Part is a truly great tear-jerking play, with perfect casting, battered-dignity and a definite must-see.

I would like to thank director Yasmin Gurreeboo (along with her assistant Graham Self) for crystallising her passionate vision as director to the stage. At the end of the journey I was emotionally devastated.

Director, Yasmin Gurreeboo, only arrived in Adelaide a
few months ago from Britain and has already made her mark with this production…This
is an exceptional piece of theatre and, with only a week to run, should
definitely be at the top of your “must see” list for June.
