This contemporary two-hander written by Joshua White explores the complex relationship between Amanda Redfern, a former Hollywood star, and Jordan Ridley, her young acting student. The intimate setting of Amanda's messy apartment serves as the backdrop for this character-driven drama exploring sexism and ageism, with set and costume designs inspired by the vivid personalities crafted in White's writing.

Reviews

"... my interest was immediately piqued by Casey Harper-Wood’s fabulous set design. Featuring a home that looks like a cross between Norma Desmond’s Sunset Blvd mansion and the Golden Girls suburban Miami abode; it’s grand but grounded, timeless but comfortable and practical; it looks like a house that might appear in a Pedro Almodovar film."

— Theatre Matters

"Casey Harper-Wood’s production design is also integral to The Mentor’s gentle persuasion. The set encapsulates the low ebb of Amanda’s career, as well as her strong but messy mind."

I acknowledge the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation, the traditional custodians of the unceded land on which I work. I pay my respects to Elders, past and present, and acknowledge their connection to creativity, culture and storytelling. Sovereignty has never been ceded.
