Imagine the scene – a community hall, the home of many community groups including the Middling Cove Players, an amateur dramatic society which has been operating for many years. Sound familiar?

Tonight is the opening night of their new play Midnight Murder at Hamlington Hall. Tonight’s performance needs to be especially good, as the local Council’s representative will be in the audience as a decision on renewing their tenure in the venue is imminent. Sound familiar?

Things get very concerning when player after player rings in having tested positive for an infectious disease. Still sound familiar?

The remaining actors, the director and the stage manager prove that the show must go on! This play – a play within a play – was written for, and first produced, as part of the 2023/2024 season at the Ensemble Theatre in Sydney.

Featuring:  Martin Crew, Emma Taite, Penny Johnson, Eugene Zanozin, Aurel Vasilescu.

Bernard, a bachelor in the 1960’s, has a flat in Paris with not one, not two, but three airline stewardesses engaged to him – without knowing about each other.

His life gets bumpy, indeed, as his careful planning comes unstuck with new airline schedules, faster jets and unseasonable weather. Surely all three stewardesses can’t all be in the same city at the same time. Or can they?

In an enlightened world of feminism and #Me-too-ism, how can an apparently sexist play about an over-confident architect juggling physical romances with three separate women be so compelling? Perhaps because it seems farfetched; perhaps because farce can be very funny! It is written to a formula that includes an open-mouthed sidekick, a belligerent maid and doors flapping with such force and frequency that they threaten, like the characters, to become completely unhinged.
