Kyneton theatre company Cathouse Players will be under the limelight this month when the group performs its next production titled Trap for a Lonely Man.
A full-length play by French writer and director Robert Thomas, the psychological thriller is set in a rented chalet in the French Alps in the 1950s and follows newly-wed character Daniel Corban who is searching for his missing wife Elizabeth.
When he is reunited with someone who he believes is not actually his missing wife, Daniel struggles with his sanity and feels trapped in a sinister web of intrigue.
Cathouse Players artistic director Bette Sartore said that she is enthusiastic about the play.
“Despite a lengthy and widespread search to successfully cast a great, full-length Australian play, and even with the performing rights already secured, I was unsuccessful and time was not on my side. So, my decision to reprise Trap for a Lonely Man by Robert Thomas was actually a no-brainer,” Ms Sartore said.
“It’s a cracker of a play, and I could cast it easily, switch a couple of roles, and introduce two new and experienced performers Graham Pitts and Mark Fuller to tread our Cathouse boards,” she said.
The play will be performed at the Kyneton Masonic Centre over six sessions between October 18–27.
Tickets are $20–25 all inclusive.
