"It's much funnier than you'd imagine," says writer David Paul Jobling, "If you go through trauma you obviously have to find ways of dealing with it; this play is a pastiche on the process that made me see my abuse differently some thirty years after the event."
This short Post-Modern play by South Australian writer DP Jobling premiered in February 1998 at The Performance Space, Sydney, NSW, but it has yet to be staged in South Australia; a method actor shares his innermost thoughts about working in the Australian entertainment industry such as, ‘what do you think about while you play a corpse on a cop show? How do you keep true to the art during post mortem forensic examination while you’re laying on the slab?’
Based on the real experience of the writer, the play has been refreshed for this South Australian premiere with additional material drawn from Jobling's life. Although the play deals with strong themes that include the lingering memories of child sexual abuse, it has a whimsically light hand in the way it reflects on the stains of life that wash away, along with those that don’t .
Godfrey
Absurd theatre for the new century; in this occasionally musical, and slightly surreal world premiere, Reginald, a self-abandoned fellow, finds his abandoned self Julian a strange fellow indeed. Waiting, not for Godot, but the bus.. an isolated bus stop where he discovers that until the bus arrives waiting for a bus can be so internally cathartic that nightmares and anxieties about identity can almost be murder.
“The Theatre of the Absurd (French: Théâtre de l'Absurde) is a designation for particular plays of absurdist fiction written by a number of primarily European playwrights in the late 1950s, as well as one for the style of theatre which has evolved from their work. Their work expressed the belief that human existence has no meaning or purpose and therefore all communication breaks down. Logical construction and argument gives way to irrational and illogical speech and to its ultimate conclusion, silence.” – Wikipedia
Performed by Jamie Jewell with David Paul Jobling.

Lucy Campbell Playwright
At 23 years of age, Lucy Campbell is a constantly busy writer and musician. With an enthusiasm for many areas of the arts industry, Lucy has been involved in music, film and theatre production, freelance writing, creative writing and acting.
Whilst studying Professional Writing at TAFE and intermittently studying a Bachelor of Media at Adelaide Uni, Lucy has completed her first novel, Colin Hero, several short film scripts and short stories, and her first play - Godfrey. She also currently works as a freelance music writer for Rip It Up, interviewing and reviewing local, national and international musicians.
Growing up in an artistically inclined household, Lucy has been constantly surrounded by creativity from a young age, acting in a handful of well received short films before she'd even reached school age, along with encouragement from her family to work in the industry.
At 15 she wrote her first film review and was short listed for an ABC Adelaide competition. By 20 she had just completed her first novel, along with taking behind the camera roles in various short films shot around Adelaide, including Mary's Home (2009), Red (2009) and Riding Derrick (2009). For the past year she has put film-work on hold to focus on in the music scene, singing and songwriting for local indie favourites The Aves.
After releasing their debut EP Panic to critical acclaim, they have only recently returned from a US/Canadian tour, playing Toronto's NXNE festival.
Godfrey marks Lucy's first play, and her debut as a staged writer. Mentored through TAFE by Chris Tugwell, Godfrey was first conceived in 2011 and underwent drastic changes throughout the year, including a read through with TAFE acting students overseen by Acting Coordinator Terry Crawford, and gaining a runner up spot in The State Theatre's Young Playwrights Award. Godfrey has undergone further development with Director David Paul Jobling and actor Jamie Jewell in the process leading towards this world premiere production as part of BlackBox at The Bakehouse.

Adelaide writer Lucy Campbell's short play Godfrey will be produced at the Bakehouse Theatre September 3 - 15, 2012 as part of their inaugural Black Box Initiative being supported by Arts SA.

Duration: tba
BlackBox@TheBakehouse
One purpose of Bakehouse's new program is to support the work of local writers and see them produced rather than left in the bottom drawer or on the shelf. This can only be a good thing for students and graduates of the Professional Writing Advanced Diploma at AC Arts as long as they seize the opportunity as Lucy Campbell did.
Campbell said, "I received an email from Sue Fleming with regards to the Bakehouse looking for new plays. I wrote this play as part of TAFE mentored process with Chris Tugwell. I workshopped it informally with TAFE actors with Chris' and Terry Crawford's (AC ARTS Acting Course Coordinator) help and re-drafted it accordingly. It's a simple one act play, all set in one place and with three characters. It's a black comedy drama."
Campbell's play Godfrey will be part of a double-bill of short works, the other piece being Filling In a work originally produced at The Performance Space in Sydney as a part of Club Bent written by David Paul Jobling.

Jobling, who has been writing for the stage for thirty years and working as a director and dramaturge on many productions in Sydney through his associations with Griffin Theatre, Sydney Theatre Company and the Australian National Playwrights Centre said, "This is a great opportunity for local audiences to get a look at original Australian work that's never been seen in Adelaide; particularly because they're written by two local writers."
Although Jobling has directed the musical productions of Pastiche by Mij Tanith and Bittersweet and The Lonley Man (both) by Jamie Jewell, he hasn't directed any of his own work since seasons of two short plays at The Space theatre back in the 1990s.

I don’t imagine or expect things would have turned out this way for me had I not been a victim of this crime. I still experience embarrassment, shame and panic attacks, bad dreams, loss of sleep and waking. I feel deep anxieties walking through the streets, noticing people near me, feeling crippled, unable to breathe; now, having to allow the realisation that the best part of my life was immeasurably damaged by this incident before I had the opportunity to even become a man, discover my own personality, the person I was naturally growing up to be... I feel all of this even more so; I feel more crippled more despair and more lonely shame. My life? What life?
