The play has since been described in the British press as “a lively chiller” and “a hilarious psychological drama” and promises it’s audiences a most entertaining evening of plot twists and turns.
The production is being directed by Russell Chandler and showcases strong local cast of three.
Ex WAAPA student Chelsea Kendall, who appears as Miriam in the play, said “it is great to have the opportunity to undertake a strong and challenging role here in Busselton”.
“Writing plays that operate on various levels is Ayckbourn’s specialty and the challenge for any actor is to be able to manage both the comedy and dramatic aspects of the play at the same time” she said.
The production has a limited season with opening night at 7.30pm on Thursday Oct 13th followed by performances on Friday Oct 14th and Saturday Oct 15th at 7.30pm, Sunday Oct 16th at 4pm and then Wednesday 19th and Thursday 20th at 7.30pm.
