Play Overview
It is the opening night of director-writer Shane Tweed’s new murder mystery, Midnight Murder at Hamlington Hall.
Seven of the amateur theatre company’s cast are down with the dreaded lurgy. So, the Middling Cove Players’ Director and two of the remaining actors, and whoever else Shane can co-opt, pitch in to continue the long tradition of ‘the show must go on’. Juggling nerves, props, and absurd miscasting, will they manage to pull it off? Or will everything go horribly, terribly and awfully wrong?



Cast
5 cast, 3 males and 2 females
Karen – The stage manager, Ex-con, pragmatic, dry, 20’s - 40’s, only here to complete her community service, she’s not enjoying this at all. Right?

Shane – The Director, optimistic, nervous, 30’s- 40’s, he’s completely out of his depth and madly in love with Philipa

Phillipa – Keen, 30’s, the ‘star’ of the Middling Cove Players, a fairly average actor in reality. Potty mouth.

Barney – Theatrical, 50’s- 60’s. The old hand, teaches drama classes, has an unfortunate tendency to lose his lines and his pants.

Richard – Co-opted ‘audience member’ has absolutely zero acting experience, initially struggles but is all in by the end of the show.

Niece/Nephew of Karen – Voiceover, can be pre-recorded

LOCATION
Wollondilly Shire Hall
44 Menangle Street Picton 2571
