With a string of awards and festivals around the world, The Travelling Sisters moved to Melbourne in 2018 and since then performed at all known comedy and fringe Festivals around Australia.
Meeting while studying at the University of Southern Queensland and creating comedy characters, saw Lucy Fox, Eli Sachs and Laura Trenerry start the dream of three blokes named Darryl, Vinnie and Berrick.
Said to have no talent while being self-proclaimed thespians with mullets and mummy issues they have since created many absurd characters with much physical comedy, often quixotic and nonsensical.
In collaboration with Kimberley Twiner, their latest offering of Thy, Thus, ‘Twas, is based out of their mothers’ living rooms, where they worked to create a theatrical masterpiece.
Giving credence to the time-honoured phrase of “All the world’s a stage, and all the men shall play all the parts”, the three “sisters” took us on a frenetic journey, often playing the part of their mothers while changing into other characters with adept timing and physical movement.
Each set a fast pace as they prepared to perform at an RSL Club, will it happen, will they find the right material to perform? Are their mothers any help?
These women are clowns. Exaggerated faces and gestures, modulated voices with much wig changing and much physicality, all with apparent ease. Their ability to create and entertain was once again on show.
