The Female of the Species for Castle Hill

Castle Hill Players’ 2014 season continues from May 2 at the Pavilion Theatre with Australian playwright Joanna Murray-Smith’s comedy The Female of the Species.

Famous author Margot Mason has a publisher’s deadline to meet. Unfortunately, she’s in the dire grip of an author’s worst nightmare: writer’s block. But if she thought that was bad – things are about to get much, much worse. Margot is confronted by an uninvited guest, a former student with a tragic past and a novel way of working through her unresolved issues. And that’s only the start of Margot’s difficult day …

“The Female of the Species is one of those remarkable plays that combines laughter with thought-provoking themes,” says director Valerie Miller. “One minute you’re chuckling, and the next you’re wondering how much of your own life is being presented on stage. The cast and I are having a great time bringing the story alive.”

The Female of the Species opens at the Pavilion Theatre, Castle Hill Showground, on Friday May 2^nd and runs until Saturday May 24^th. Performances are Wednesday, Friday and Saturday at 8.15 pm, and Sunday at 4.30 pm. Tickets are  $26.00, $21.00 concession and can be booked online at www.paviliontheatre.org.au, or through the box office at 9634 2929.
