The Actor's Nightmare by Christopher Durang Directed by Carole Coyne
and Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You by Christopher Durang Directed by Catherine Ellis
Performances: Tuesday 2nd to Saturday 6th February 2010, Bell Theatre Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You Homosexuality: A Mortal Sin. Beating your wife: Just a Venial Sin. God always answers our prayers - He just sometimes says no. In this dark comedy, assisted by her pet choirboy, Thomas, and assisted and/or hindered by some of her ex-students, Sister Mary Ignatius answers audience questions and really does, in her own way, explain it all for you. Cast Sister Mary - Margaret Glenn Thomas - Ben Thomas/Oscar Patron-Mowat Diane - Samantha Golton Gary - Nick Mansley Philomena - Anna Callender Aloysius - Chris Learmonth Ages are fairly flexible - but they need to be relative to each other. For more details, please contact Catherine Ellis, Director The Actor's Nightmare George is sure he is an accountant not an actor so why do these people expect him to "go on" tonight? Why won't somebody at least tell him what play it is? Why didn't he join a monastery? This is a hilarious evocation of many an actor's nightmare with lovely pastiches of some very well known plays - and being Christopher Durang there is a bit of lapsed-Catholic self-scourging as well. Cast George Spelvin - Jason Lord Meg - Fiona Daffern Sarah Siddons - Sacha Walker Henry Irving - Julian Farrance Ellen Terry - Stephanie Urquhart For more details, please contact Carole Coyne, Director
