"A Sting In The Tale"

Harbour Theatre, Fremantle's only and original community theatre for 50 years, is proud to present for our fourth production for our Golden Jubilee Year, "A Sting In The Tale", by Brian Clemens & Dennis Spooner and directed by Pat Stroud From the wit-laden pen of Brian Clemens (The (original) Avengers, The Professionals etc) and his equally experienced collaborator Dennis Spooner, comes a Murder Mystery with almost as many twists and turns to the plot as an Aran knitting pattern! "A Sting in the Tale" is Harbour Theatre’s 4th production for 2013, their 50th Anniversary year and they are delighted to welcome back acclaimed director Pat Stroud. “This is a Murder Mystery with attitude. An insight into the creation of such works that sucks you in from the minute it opens and spits you out – bewildered, shocked and yet entirely satisfied at the final curtain!” says Harbour Theatre’s guest director Pat Stroud. “It takes you on a journey that ducks and weaves through one of the best scripts of its ilk. It’s a crossword puzzle that begins looking disarmingly simple, and quickly proves it’s as cryptic as they come – and it’s also very funny! For this production director Stroud, who has been making her mark in Perth Theatre for thirty years, has brought together a stellar cast from among Harbour Theatres’ best people. A tour de force for leads Michael Dornan (Fremantle) and Marcus McGavock (Atwell) ably aided and abetted by Andy Markland (East Fremantle), Meredith Hunter (Bayswater) and Chloerissa Eadie (Kardinya). "A Sting in the Tale" is rather different from your regular whodunnit, in that it begins with a staged murder, and works back from there before the real murder. "We need a victim the audience would cheerfully hate," says the character Nigel just before his wife, Ann, walks into the playwrights' studio......??? “This show will keep everyone on the edge of their seats with a resolution that will genuinely surprise audiences!” continues Stroud.
