A dark fable and a dance macabre. All she ever wanted was to be crowned the Glasshouse District Pineapple Queen, wear wonderful dresses, watch romantic movies, and catch the eye of a handsome young man. But when her dancing courtship with William Holden intensifies she is forced to confront the reality of her existence. ‘I’ve always wanted to be loved in the afternoon and into the night. With white swans gliding on a river and the moon hanging out of the sky, like Audrey Hepburn in ‘Funny Face’ dancing with Fred Astaire.’ A gripping contemporary performance piece starring the internationally acclaimed Lisa O’Neill. ‘Darkly comic, surreal and affecting physical theatre...stunning.’ Australian Stage Online www.lisaoneill.com 29 July–8 August 2009 : La Boite Theatre Company, The Roundhouse Theatre Katrina Torenbeek, Producer, MAPS for Artists The Pineapple Queen - Technical Specifications The Pineapple Queen 7 min promo video (YouTube) The Pineapple Queen review - The Australian 31 July 2009                         Main photo by Justine Walpole & La Boite Theatre Company.
