Written for Caroline, David Williamson's new play, Scarlett O'Hara at the Crimson Parrot, will premiere as part of the Melbourne Theatre Company's (MTC) 2008 season. Having retired from main-stage productions in 2005, the Australian playwright's world premiere will star Caroline as Scarlett, a woman who copes with her mundane reality by escaping into a fantasy world of her favourite films. MTC's Artistic Director Simon Phillips said, "Finding a show for Caroline O'Connor is no picnic, since her inexhaustible talents require a vehicle with the power of a Ferrari, the manoeuvrability of a trail bike, the relentlessness of a monster truck and the magnificence of Cleopatra's barge. But I thought if anyone could give her endless talents a work-out, David Williamson could!".Scarlett O'Hara at the Crimson Parrot will premiere at the Arts Centre Playhouse in Melbourne, for a five week season from June 7 until July 12, 2008.
