The theatre is a familiar space for both performers, who chose Orange for final rehearsals and finetuning of the show, which will tour the country after opening on Friday night.
“Orange chose us, they contacted us and offered us the theatre prior to our opening, which is just wonderful,” said Mr Livermore, who penned the story.
The show tells the story of Pantomime star Marjory Joy (Hayes), a 95-year-old whose life flashes before her eyes at a time when she appears to be losing her memory, leaving the audience to ponder the difference between fantasy and reality.
Mr Livermore plays the role of her son Alistair, who is struggling to come to terms with caring for his mother.
The duo came up with the idea for the show while performing in My Fair Lady in 2008.
“We’ve known each other since the 1960s but have rarely had the opportunity to work together,” Mr Livermore said.
We are very grateful to Orange for this opportunity - it is so exciting.”
Tickets are available from Ticketek on 6393 8111.
