A thrilling drama filled with suspense and mystery will be performed by a local community theatre group in Bacchus Marsh this month.
Moonlite Theatre will perform Rope – the classic suspense play by Patrick Hamilton – across several dates throughout October at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church Hall.
The play, based on a true story, is full of thrilling and edge-of-your-seat moments and follows two friends who believe they have gotten away with murder and decide to host a dinner party.
Moonlite Theatre vice president Tim Hawthorne said there will be eight cast members in the play.
“We thought we’d do a thrilling drama … we’ve done quite a few comedies as of late,“ Mr Hawthorne said.
“It follows the same theme of the play – two of the main actors who think they’ve committed the perfect murder, they’ve decided to hold a dinner party … to see if anybody would pick up on the clues from what they’ve committed a few hours before,“ he said.
“[It will] leave the audience on their seats with all the twists and turns of whether [the characters have been] found out or not.“
Mr Hawthorne said that the group is always looking for new members for a variety of roles – including actors, backstage crew members, or writers.
Rope will be performed from 8pm on Friday, October 17, and Friday, October 24, and from 2pm and 8pm on Saturday, October 18 and Saturday, October 25 at the Holy Trinity Anglican Church Hall, 19 Gisborne Road, Bacchus Marsh.
The production is by Arrangement with ORiGiN Theatrical on behalf of Samuel French, a Concord Theatricals Company.
