Back to the Future with Ibsen: Environmental Prophet


The stage-setting for Ibsen’s play is classic austerity, monotone elegance, the ‘epic’ gravitas of impending doom. This is hardly a bland 'feel good' piece of theatre, but instead a profound, demanding, thoughtful and curative tonic, a grand dose of ‘back to the future’ flavoured with ‘shock& awe’...

Family life in the war zone


Imagine the feminine mind, body and psyche under assault; the family as battleground—guilt, resentment, jealous possession, desolation and abandonment, sizzling love-hate arsenal flying all around. In the play, ‘Dating Jesus’ there are no heroes, anti-heroes or antagonists lurking on or off stage. Everyone is merely struggling to cope and survive cheek-by-jowl with one another in this excruciatingly tender, painful, searching and revealing, contemporary true-to-life drama. It’s an ongoing mélange of familial empathy, a volatile camaraderie that, every so often, detonates all over the place like domestic Semtex. In other words, family life as many of us may know it...

Brilliant stage-set from hell


Imagine a mammoth triptych of projection screens, ceiling probes and searchlights overlooking a rectangular sand-filled pit—and the whole lot bathed in overpowering blackness. This is the imaginative mixed-media stage décor that awaits you at the Bain St-Michel Theatre, located just off ‘the Main’ on the plateau.

As prelude to the drama, entitled Gas, ‘zen-like’ images of ocean waves soon give way to the grueling shocks, blasts and images of a desert war...

The PSC Community Theatre would like to invite you to our presentation of,

Black Comedy by Peter Shaffer

As the play Black Comedy opens the stage is in total darkness. Brindsley Miller an avant-garde artist and his finance Carol Melkett are decorating his flat with furniture from their camp and fussy neighbor Harriet Gorringe. The purpose is to impress Carol’s father the bombastic Colonel Melkett and a French millionaire who is interested in Brindsley’s work. Then a fuse blows and the building is plunged into darkness at this point the stage is finally lit.

Brindsley’s foreboding that the whole evening is going to a disaster. “An A-one copper-bottomed, twenty-four-carat disaster!” is not far off the mark. With the unexpected arrival of Brindsley’s ex-girlfriend Clea and Harriet whose furniture was illicitly borrowed the whole evening moves from one chaotic moment to another. Fun prevails in all the confusion!

View from a Dutch Garret…a window in time


John C. Dinning’s stage setting for this production of ‘The Diary of Anne Frank’ is intricate and life-like, yet with the compacted air of a doll’s house topped by a garret. From day one of the family’s seclusion, it becomes a background character in its own right, breathing its inhumane restrictions over 8 war-time Jews gone into hiding, holed up, literally, in its imprisoning cocoon of fragile safety and fear. Devoid of natural light, the 'verboten' view from their garret hiding place is a blacked-out window in time...
