The Nanango Theatre Company is preparing to launch its first production for 2013 on Friday, April 26, and it’s not intended for younger viewers.
The new show, “Lesser Evils”, is a play about modern life written by South Burnett playwright Liz Schneidewin.
It’s inspired by Terence Rattigan’s classic play “Deep Blue Sea” and is a story of friendship, love, hope and renewal, the mistakes we make and how we survive them.
Kieran Abbott takes the lead role as Sandra, an artist who’s made mistakes.
She’s joined by Tasha Freeman as her best friend and next-door neighbour Allie, a nail technician with a heart of gold who lives with her coming-of-age son Sean, portrayed by up-and-coming actor Brenton Cullen.
Also living in the same building is Jones, a security guard with a hidden past played by Kendall Siddans.
Brad Boynton is Sandra’s boyfriend Tom, an ambitious documentary film maker who stands in the shadow of Richard, a high-powered public prosecutor.
And they’re joined by Shane Seaton as Stan, a television producer who may hold the key to Tom’s future.
Lesser Evils is not intended for younger audiences and will debut at the Nanango Theatre Company’s Elk Street playhouse at 7:00pm on Friday, April 26, with a $25 per head wine and cheese night.
Other performances (at $20 for adults and $15 for concessions) will be held at 7:00pm on Saturday, April 27; Friday and Saturday, May 3-4; and Friday, May 10, before the show concludes with a final $25 wine and cheese night on Saturday, May 11.
There’ll also be a special 2:00pm matinee performance on Saturday, May 4.
Tickets are available from the Nanango Visitor Information Centre in George Street or by phoning (07) 4171-0100.
Unless sold out, tickets will also be available at the door 30 minutes before each performance begins.
Lesser Evils is sponsored by Stanwell Corporation, Heritage Nanango Community Branch and Bill’s Horticultural Services.
