To whom this may concern
We would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves.
Our names are Amanda Sandwith and Sophie Lampel and we run Essential
Theatre.
Essential Theatre was founded in 1996 and our main aim is to produce
theatre that will entertain, provoke and inspire audiences to think in a
fresh way about their own lives.
2003 sees Essential Theatre tackle one of their most exciting projects
to date. We have been given the opportunity to produce Linda Jaivin’s
play “Seeking Djira” as an Australian Premiere at 45 Downstairs in
August, 2003.
‘Seeking Djira’ explores the complexities associated with Asylum
Seekers. Linda Jaivin has been able to take one of the most complex
topics, refugees, and turn it into a sparkling comedy that also carries
a potent social and political message.
Linda Jaivin best describes ‘Seeking Djira’ as “ A provocative comedy
about self-obsession, social conscience, sexual attraction and the
mandatory detention of asylum seekers.”
We are writing to you in the hope that our production may be advertised
through your network of contacts, whether it be through your email
database/newsletter/ or Website. We would be most grateful for any
assistance that you could provide us.
In return we would be more than happy to place any literature from your
organisation at the door of the theatre.
