The Blonde, the Brunette and the Vengeful Redhead
A play about a redhead wronged who gets violent
The play “The Blonde, the Brunette, and the Vengeful Redhead” was written by Australian playwright Robert Hewett.
Here is what the play is about, according to Australian plays dot org:
An adulterous husband, a meddlesome neighbour and a dropped ice-cream cone are among the circumstances that combine to shatter the life of suburban housewife Rhonda Russell.
Everyone has their own story to tell about the day that Rhonda went beserk in the shopping mall. And who’s to know where the truth lies? With the best friend who might have egged her on? With the husband who denies responsibility? Or with the victim’s family whose lives were changed forever? And then there’s the story of the vengeful redhead herself, but she’s probably the least likely to know what really happened.
In this gripping adventure, the world is turned upside down in a disastrous and comic sequence of events. As the intrigue unfolds, seven different characters give a fresh twist of perspective – all played by one multifaceted performer.
While I have not seen the play yet, the name has negative connotations about ‘the vengeful redhead’ invoking a stereotype many hold about redheads–that we are violent and irrational–particularly in love. I am curious to read what our readers think, particularly if you happen to have seen the play as well.
