College Plays

The Real Inspector Hound

The College play has always been a great way to showcase the talent De La Salle has to offer. This year, with the combined talents of students from Presentation College, Windsor, our thespians presented a double billing of Tom Stoppard’s plays. In ‘The Real Inspector Hound’, Stoppard unashamedly took a classic English murder-mystery and turned it on its head. He threw in a few theatre critics, some gorgeous women, a philandering womaniser, a foghorn-brandishing inspector and a hilarious pop-in maid (the talented De La teacher Ms Kathleen Flynn). ‘Cahoots Macbeth’, a bizarre and unique piece of theatre shows Stoppard at his most absurd or at his best. Not always easily understood, ‘Cahoots Macbeth’ is Shakespeare’s famous play dropped into 1960’s communist Czechoslovakia. The combination of sword fighting, magic, and a two tonne artichoke all added to the crazy but enjoyable performance. Directed by Mrs Marg McPhee, the two plays featured Tom McLean, David Bentley, Dan Giovannoni, Christian Kloukinas, Tim Clancy, Daniel Rana, David Nicholson, Lam Nyugyen, James Monteleone, Rob McGirr, David Gleason, Sime Mardesic and Harrison Murray. The lighting and sound provided by Duane Cox and David Nicholson completed a wonderful evening’s entertainment.
