The Removalists

First time Director has had a difficult time of getting his production of The Removalists to the stage; with numerous unavoidable cast changes resulting in him taking on the major role of Constable Neville Ross as well as controlling the action and pace of the show. And he proved to everyone he was equal to both tasks.

He had assembled a fantastic cast which worked hard in telling this tale of wife abuse with a very strong emphasis on the physical violence dealt out by the police to the belligerent husband played by Sean Curran, reaching a much bloodied climax. Candice Dittman was the timid, long suffering wife with Kate McNair as her dominating older sister.

Jack Henry portrayed the pugnacious Police Sergeant and Bruce Alker Jnr played the tea making Removalist.

Patrick was ably assisted by Lara Rix, who kept an eye on things while the Constable was wavering between indecision and aggression in his first day on the job.

Graham Simpson’s choice of music added to the atmosphere and for the finale of the show parts of the scenery became the rear of the Removalist’s van and after closing the doors the driver asked the audience to get out of the way while he was reversing.
