Hilarious winter warmer

The cast of Castlemaine Theatre Company's highly anticipated winter warmer 'The Real Inspector Hound' are deep into rehearsals for the July production. See page 9. Photo: Stephen Mitchell.
Tickets went on sale this week for Castlemaine Theatre Company’s winter warmer, the classic one-act play ‘The Real Inspector Hound’ by Tom Stoppard. The play is directed by Sam Archer and features a diverse, multigenerational cast, with the usual wonderful cocktail of CTC regulars and new faces. The action is set in the crumbling grandeur of an opulent yet eerie manor house, and cunningly uses the meta-narrative of a ‘play within a play’. Castlemaine Theatre Company cordially invites you to an evening of fanciful farce in the Drawing Room of Muldoon Manor with drinks served half an hour before the show in the Grand Hall and Parlour. Formal ’50s style attire is encouraged, though not required for entry. Join them at the newly appointed Etty St Studio, 35 Etty St. (Old CSC Senior Campus, Engineering Block) July 5-14, Fridays and Saturdays at 7pm for a 7.30pm curtain, and Sundays at 1.30pm for a 2pm curtain. Tickets are available through Trybooking or the Castlemaine Theatre Company website at www.castlemainetheatrecompany.com
