Death By Chocolate

Obviously, some people are keen to see a review of this latest offering from Melville Theatre, so here goes:
I never go to Melville as a rule - unless there are some Curtin people in the cast - or the audience for that matter. It always makes me think how much better community theatre could be if only they all did a drama course at a real university and trod the boards of a real theatre like Hayman. However, on this occasion it was a case of 'noblesse oblige' and to say the least I was pleasantly surprised - or perhaps delighted or even tickled pink would best express it. In fact, I almost had an accident I laughed so much!
The cast were all very good looking, the set was very well set, the lights well lit and the sound was sound especially the music. I can't tell you anything about the play itself or I might give away all the twists and turns - besides, I didn't really understand it. I thought the lead actor could have gestured a bit more, but otherwise he was very convincing - at least I thought so until I found out that he was actually a (shock horror) Murdoch T&D graduate! To add insult to injury, some other members of the cast were even dancers and singers before they tried acting. Where will it all end?
Anyway, thanks Melville for the complimentary sherry and forgive me for passing on the choccies!




Thou lumpish clapper-clawed gudgeon!
