A fast-paced comedy opens up in Alexandria this Thursday, April 20th. “The Play That Goes Wrong” is a play within a play. The show follows the antics of the Cornley Drama Society who are trying their very best to stage a production of a 1920s murder mystery. This is not as easy as it sounds with everything that can go wrong doing just that. The actors find themselves in a constant struggle living out the theatre mantra, the show must go on. It leaves only enough room for lots of laughter. Learn more about the cast and the show on the Andria Theatre website.
Fire Pit Productions is in its second weekend of performing the dark comedy, “Dracula – The Bloody Truth” . It received great reviews from the first weekend. It is showing at Lakes Area Theatre April 21st and 22nd at 7:00pm and Sunday April 23rd at 2:00pm.
It’s described in this way. Travelling across Europe, from the dark and sinister Transylvanian mountains to the charming seaside town of Whitby, Professor Van Helsing and his three amateur actors stage a life-changing, theatrical production of Dracula – hoping to establish, once and for all, the bloody truth.
The result is a delightfully silly, fast-paced and faithful (-ish) adaptation by John Nicholson (Hound of the Baskervilles, Peepolykus) of Bram Stoker’s novel, originally performed by physical-comedy theatre company Le Navet Bete on a UK tour in 2017.
Performed by four actors playing forty characters, Dracula: The Bloody Truth is a full-blooded adaptation offering abundant opportunities for any theatre company or drama group to sink their teeth into.
