Arts Centre Melbourne Presents More Female Parts
A virtuoso one-woman theatre piece full of humour, heart and wit.
Evelyn Krape explodes onto the stage in a highly physical, comic and utterly engaging performance. With director Lois Ellis, she revisits the characters from her headline-making 1980s play Female Parts, now thirty years on.
Comprising three monologues, More Female Parts celebrates women of all ages with ardour and invention, exploring issues from the perspective of a “mature” woman and her barely recognised place in the community.
With great physical skill, Evelyn allows the audience to experience the sexism and inequality that still exists for all women today, in a comic and dramatic tour de force. Bold characters confront divorce, the glass ceiling, and control within a relationship, in a hilarious and highly theatrical style.
Written by Sara Hardy especially for Evelyn Krape's unique talents, this is a must-see performance.
“A joy and a privilege to watch… Krape is a magnetic performer and a stalwart of Melbourne theatre who we see infrequently on stage these days.” Herald Sun
“Krape's impish cheek assures the patriarchy is dissected with much amusement.” The Age
“One of the beauties of Hardy’s writing and Krape’s performance – the ability to quickly switch emotional gears, from laugh out loud hilarity one second to thought-provoking pathos and genuine concern the next… rewarding, often laugh out loud funny.” Joe Calleri

Evelyn was fantastic - very well written and performed. Loved it.
Evelyn Krape is a highly skilled, funny, entertaining and dynamic performer, whose talents have been honed over the years that she has blessed us with her performances. Her energy in this piece was amazing - it never flagged. However, I felt that the material let her down in places - a little judicious editing and pruning would have been useful! Notwithstanding, the scripts cleverly presented the difficulties in life that still face women and Evelyn interpreted the scripts superbly.
Incredible energy and clever script, Evelyn's delivery was a delight to watch. A great introduction to her work as an actress

Brilliant acting, great humour and highly entertaining.
Evelyn is a talented and energetic performer. The show was very entertaining with very incisive material on the still unsatisfactory role of women in today's society.
Evelyn Krape is a wonderful physical artist nailing the patriarchy and bureaucracy oppressing older women. Gez
She's a very talented actor, but I only found the first monologue interesting. The rest was lost on me.

A high energy, thought provoking, entertaining, ballsy woman. Just a fabulous night. Too short. I will certainly be telling people to get in on the last few shows. Well done.
