Little Theatre performs one-act plays

Woy Woy Little Theatre will present A Season of One Act Plays at the Peninsula Theatre from May 7 to 16.

Group marketing manager Ms Patrice Horne said the event would bring theatre-lovers another fun-filled season of one act plays in the style of shoestring theatre.

She said the program would feature four short plays by local playwrights, actors and stage crew.

"Sauce Bearnaise written by Leila Blake and directed by Panos Carranjis tells the story of Jane and Julian, a childless professional couple realise that their marriage is becoming stale," Ms Horne said.

"They take steps to rekindle their love but face certain dilemmas of faith and trust in this witty, thought provoking comedy featuring actors Virginia Skinner and Chris Ashcroft.

"Joining the Club by David Tristram and directed by Marie Sellers is the story of a highly successful career woman who becomes unexpectedly expectant.

"This is the night that Jenny plans to reveal the results of her home pregnancy test to her husband, Tom.

"But he has some startling news of his own.

"War Letters by J. Robert Wilkins and directed by Linda Williams tells the story of a man who is off on a peacekeeping mission overseas.

"The women Jack leaves at home must deal with his absence, each facing the reality of separation privately.

"The only connection with the man they love is via letters.

"The cast includes Marie Sellers, Amanda Benson, Sarah Graham, Kirstie McGlone.

"And finally, Who's on the Couch by Penny Dilworth and directed by John Hickey reveals a short comedy about Emily, who is in need of psychiatric treatment, but you start to wonder if she came to the right place when she sees the eccentric behaviour of the doctor.

"This play about odd things happening in a psychiatrist's office was written by one of our members and this is the play's first public performance featuring Judi Jones, Brendon Flynn, Tyrone McMaster and Patrice Flynn Horne."
