The Stillborn Lover - Opens Tonight @ Garrick
Fri, 8 Aug 2008, 02:27 pmThe Stillborn Lover opens tonight at the Garrick Theatre in Guildford.
Award winning Canadian Playwright Timothy Findley's last play written before his unfortunate passing in 2002.
The Stillborn Lover is a play of espionage and murder.
Set the vcr to record the Olympic Games opening ceremony tonight so you can watch it at your hearts pleasure... and then pleasure your theatrical bug to an outstanding production with an exceptional cast including Colin Hughes, Dale James, Kristine Lockwood, Max Harvey, Marion West, Ray Egan and Jason Bouwhuis tonight at the Garrick Theatre, 16 Meadow St, Guildford.
Garrick's bookings office no is 9379 9400 and is open 9am to 4pm every day of the week. Tickets are available for each performance, however some nights are rapidly filling... so don't leave it till the last minute - get in to see the show first so you can review and brag to all and sundry.
Don't forget there is free champagne after the show on Garrick's opening nights.
Directed by John Lobb, who has done wonders with the Garrick stage, it's never looked so big - the set itself is something to flavour.
The show is for adults only, and there is a brief moment of discreet nudity - nothing to shy away from I can tell you !! :-)
If you haven't read the media release - here it is below. Hope to catch you at the Garrick.
Garrick Theatre is proud to present The Stillborn Lover, a play of political and personal betrayal written by Canadian playwright Timothy Findley. Directed by John Lobb, The Stillborn Lover combines espionage and murder in this adult’s only production.
The Canadian ambassador to Moscow and his wife Marian who suffers from Alzheimers are brought back secretly to Canada and placed in a safe house after the murder of a young man in the Moscow embassy.
Also in the house are two special agents investigating the murder. Is he under suspicion? Who was the young man, was he a friend or a lover? What can Marian recall of their time in Moscow as she slips away from reality into her own little world?
What are the plans of the ambassador’s long time friend Michael Riordon have for them, as he pushes to become the next Prime Minister of Canada.
Director John Lobb says he first read the script several years ago when it was submitted at Garrick and thought ‘what a great story’. The play didn’t go ahead that year, however whilst Lobb was looking for a play last year, he rang the now late George Dickinson, the highly respected WA director who originally submitted the show. “George was thrilled that I was keen to present this powerful production, and with our exceptional cast, we sincerely hope and are confident this production would make George proud”.
The Stillborn Lover contains adult themes and some discreet nudity, therefore making this show suitable for adult audiences only.
