Burnside Players Inc. Present
The Busybody
by Suzannah Centlivre
Directed by Brendan Clare
He's everywhere. He's always trying to help. Sometimes he
succeeds.
It is the late 1700s and friends Miranda and Isabinda are
plotting to escape the suitors their parents have chosen for
them, in favour of their own choice of potential husbands
- Sir George and Charles. With the help of their faithful
servants Patch and Whisper (who, meanwhile, have plans of
their own) they plan to keep the parents fooled until the
wedding bells ring out. Unfortunately, they are not counting
on Marplot (the Busybody), who is always trying to help -
but without much success. The result is an hilarious, touching
and eminently satisfying comedy.
Director Brendan Clare has brought together a
talented cast, including Burnside regulars Ali Craig (Popcorn),
Richard Gruca (The Crucible) and
Natalie Driver (Oh What a Lovely War)
as well as a lot of new faces.
