Bedroom Farce Antics for Redcliffe

Bedroom Farce Antics for Redcliffe

In the manner of British farces, the story-line of Alan Ayckbourn’s Bedroom Farce is manic.

Ernest and Delia go out to dinner to celebrate their wedding anniversary. When this is a failure they return home and prepare to celebrate with pilchards on toast in bed.

Malcolm and Kate are preparing a house-warming party:  Nick and Jan have been invited to this but Nick has hurt his back and prepares to rest quietly in bed.

All three preparations are doomed however to disaster, by the marital problems of Trevor (son of Ernest and Delia) and his wife Susannah who descend on each couple in turn leaving chaos in their wake, finally taking over the bedroom  (and bed) of the long suffering Malcolm and Kate.

The three bedrooms are presented simultaneously on stage and the action flows in and out from one to another during this hectic night.

Mousetrap Theatre Company Inc. presents Bedroom Farce In their theatre at Redcliffe Showgrounds (Qld) from August 2 – 18 with acast featuring Mousetrap regulars and newcomers Mike Pitcher as Ernest, Dawn Smith as Delia, John Honey as Nick and Susan Fields as Jan with Reagon Warner as Malcolm, Stephanie  Savian as Kate, Marcus Thomas as Trevor and Debbie Fenton as Susannah.

The production is directed by Keith Wilson and Linda Meyer is the assistant director.
