The Governess in residence at Laurel Lodge School House

The Governess is in residence at Laurel Lodge School House (part of the Heritage Hill Museum and Historic Gardens site) by invitation from Greater Dandenong City Council. A picture of the school room is attached. She is uncertain as to what will take place during the two weeks, or even how many students will be attending her classes but she is used to working with the unknown and in fact believes it makes one's adventures all the more exciting. She will be submitting entries documenting her stay on her Facebook page - for those interested, go here: https://www.facebook.com/TheGovernessSchool.

Sydney Morning Herald review for The Governess in Lessons Learnt

Sydney Morning Herald review:

"Half disciplinary lesson and half absurdist caper, this one-woman show is a tutorship in unfettered character originality. Forbidding and mildly unhinged in a long tailored outfit, Rentell's governess reigns from a tiny Union Jack-topped desk and blackboard. Between chalk-dust dances, New Testament horse impressions, a spine-tingling banana-eating solo and lessons about terrors beyond her classroom, she is twitchy, seductive, frightening and demented. Rentell's governess is a joy to watch, with the potential to be developed even further."
