The Little y Theatre, formed by Georgia King, Mischa Ipp and the late Alexis Davis in 2010, made a galvanizing debut in June with Scent Tales, one of the real highlights of the Perth stage this year. This production is very much King’s baby. She’s a terrific young performer, and her assured style permeates this story of a girl, Lolita, fallen down, as told by her seven friends and classmates.
When it all comes together, as in the fabulous funny-scary scene when the girls, in their “angry year”, prowl and snarl through an adolescent pre-menstrual animal kingdom, there is anger, humour and insight in equal measure. When their focus is not themselves and their own lives, but Lolita the Slut and hers, it loses these qualities.
