Congratulations to Andrea Knight and her team on a very professional production of J.B. Priestley’s drama. Beautifully gowned, splendidly acted and presented against one of the most attractive sets we’ve ever seen on our stage, this play won us a lot of friends.
Robert and Jean Durez made an impressive debut. Stuart Maiden and Peter Bromley were excellent in their characterizations of difficult roles, and were ably supported by Barbara Fraser, Marilyn McIver and Dorothy Bell. Set design by Peter Nethercote drew many commendatory comments. More about Peter later on in this bulletin.
Did you realise that this was Andrea’s first full-length production? There’s no denying it was an auspicious beginning.
Synopsis
Robert and Freda Caplan are entertaining guests at their country retreat. A chance remark by one of the guests ignites a series of devastating revelations, revealing a hitherto undiscovered tangle of clandestine relationships and dark secrets, the disclosures of which have tragic consequences. The play ends with time slipping back to the beginning of the evening and the chance remark not being made, the secrets remaining hidden and the "dangerous corner" avoided.
