The Lane Cove Theatre Company’s 2024 season starts with a bang or should we say crash. The season runs from 9th to 25th February 2024 at The Performance Space @ St Aidan’s.
The Farndale Avenue ladies are back with the Housing Estate Townswomen’s Guild Dramatic Society’s Murder Mystery.
Every drama group has experienced the horrors of what can go wrong on opening night, and the ladies of the F.A.H.E.T.G. Dramatic Society are no different, with the possible exception that almost everything that could happen does!
The scenery collapses, cues are missed, lines are forgotten, and the sound effects take on a strange note at times as the ladies present their ambitious evening’s entertainment with the cunning whodunit, ‘Murder At Checkmate Manor.’ And just in case the audience should get bored there’s a Film and Fashion Show and Murder Mystery Quiz, complete with a Prize!
The crunch comes in the denouement when the ‘murderer’, about to be revealed, has to rush home to bandage up an injured daughter. But Mrs. Reece, doyenne of the group, rises above the slings and arrows of outrageous dramatics to save the situation and provide the final inventive twist.
