------------------------------------------------ Commonplace Productions presents THE ISHMAEL CLUB ------------------------------------------------ The Ishmael Club is a new play about Melbourne Bohemians in the early 1900's. It is the story of the intense friendship between artists Will Dyson, Norman Lindsay and Ruby Lind. These artists gather at Mrs Maggia's cafe where garlic, red wine and impromptu theatrics keep the night at bay. The cafe is home to the Ishmael Club - the outsiders club. Melbourne has long exhibited an argumentative spirit, a tradition of fiercely frank speaking, a delight in no-holds-barred having-it-out in public. The audience will recognise the debates about art, morality and politics vividly brought to life in The Ishmael Club because they still rage here today.
