The Typists
(Exchange Hotel Balmain, 2015)
Directed by Hannah Strout and installed in the back room of the pub, it’s a necessarily modest production but effectively designed (the stage area is fringed with hundreds of gummed-together sheets of A4) and capably performed by Prince and Goldele Rayment, who is also responsible for the show’s “creative concept”.
“Time passes swiftly in the company of these two compelling women… The Typists is a great showcase for Rayment and Prince’s obvious acting chops”
- SameSame.com.au
“Thoughtful, dynamic and wonderfully captivating… Prince and Rayment’s passion for the work is genuine, infectious, and very engaging”
-Suzy Goes See
“Set in an office typing pool, this early sixties nugget by Murray Schisgal seeks out profundity in the commonplace. Actually, make that the workplace.
Within the span of the play, they share stories, endure the serial humiliations of the workplace, they feud and make-up, and they talk about the future. Thus, an uneventful 40-years is telescoped into 60 minutes. Paul and Sylvia turn grey before our eyes. Point made.
-Jason Blake (Sydney Morning Herald)

The Typists
“A sparkling two-character piece … Wonderful vaudeville aspects and meaningless existential ritualistic elements abound.”
