Full house for Buried Child

The Mountview Theatre was buzzing at the gala night of its second production for the year, Buried Child, on May 12.

Mount Players president Karen Hunt said a full house enjoyed the debut performance of the intense drama, above, which is the company’s entry in this year’s Victorian Drama League Awards.

"The stage was transformed into an old, run down farmhouse set in Illinois in the mid 70s, creating a macabre, tense atmosphere from the moment you sat down. The cast and crew are to be congratulated on the acting, set design, sound and lighting which, after months of hard work, culminated in a production we are incredibly proud of."

Karen said the One Act Play Festival will return for July 8/9 with "a very funny" Shakespeare production in August. Link: www.themountplayers.com
