At a quiet bus stop, Paul sits. 19 years old, calm, neat, at peace. Into his life jumps Carina; direct, no-nonsense, thin. Before long a conversation evolves. However, it soon becomes apparent that this is a girl who desires more than a simple chat with her new friend? Touching and beautiful, All My Love Paul is a moving musing of the fragility and joy of life. Whilst the subject matter deals with terminal illness, the tone is never sombre. Poignant but at no time pretentious, this is a play sure to leave the audience discussing – ?what would you do in the same circumstances?? The three characters are all in their late teens. However, your production of this show will have great appeal to all ages. Carina tells us that ??the world isn?t perfect.? Perhaps it isn?t. Perhaps, at times, each of us regard our existence as an ??exploding jigsaw puzzle.? However, All My Love Paul is a play where all the pieces, even the most difficult ones, fit perfectly, delightfully into place.

Directing this play for the South East QLD Theatre Festival Circuit was an absolutely amazing experience. I chose this play as I had 3 grade 12 students ready for a challenge! All 3 players took the challenge and ran with it, winning an amazing 17 awards across 5 festivals. The script provided a beautiful balance of drama and comedy which allowed the actors to showcase their immense talent. The simple setting makes it the perfect festival choice, but does create directorial challenges as it is a very static play. I had to be very aware at all times to not have any unnecessary movement and to use the lovely naturalistic dialogue to drive the play. I would highly recommend this play to anyone wanting to a festival play for young actors ready for a challenge. During the festival circuit we received some fantastic feedback from adjudicators and audiences. Michelle Allan, Director
