With writing this good, and a subject that will genuinely connect with its audience, there was no other option than simply to let the magic happen…" MARTIN BUZACOTT, THE AUSTRALIAN QUEENSLAND ARTS COUNCIL PRESENTS James and Johnno BY MARGERY FORDE AND MICHAEL FORDE A La Boite Theatre Company Production When the uptight James finds a note from his hopeless brother Johnno inviting him on a cruise on Moreton Bay, he thinks this might be the moment to break the news that he’s fed up and making his escape. Instead he finds himself out on Moreton Bay, trapped between sea and stars in a leaky old boat with the brother from hell and the ashes of their father. As children they were close - now the only thing they have in common is a bit of DNA. This 2007 production, directed by Michael Futcher, features Michael Forde as James and Steven Tandy as Johnno. Box Office Reward Scheme applies to selected performances on this tour. This tour is assisted by Arts Regional Touring Service (ARTS), a Queensland Government initiative. "...James and Johnno continues La Boite’s hugely successful run of stories about Queensland."
