Rumours comedy sells out
READY, set, laugh, Rumours by Rondo Theatre and directed by Narelle Shorey is finally here to kick off the 70th anniversary celebration of the community theatre with a sold-out season.
In Rumours, deputy mayor Charlie Brock, and his wife Myra are hosting a glamorous anniversary party at their home. Chris and Ken Gorman are the first of eight guests to arrive to find Charlie wounded in bed, his wife missing, the domestic help gone and unprepared food in the kitchen.
Instead of taking Charlie to the hospital and notifying the police, Chris and Ken decide it is more important to try to protect Charlie’s reputation and then insanity and hilarity unfolds.
Rumours producer Kevin Shorey said it was exciting to kick off an extremely thrilling year for the theatre and its first play of the year with a fully sold-out show.
“We are fully sold out, there are no tickets left for our performances,” he said.
“We’ve had some difficulties and issues with some cast members getting sick but working with an extremely talented cast we’ve excelled in our last two rehearsals and we’re ready to go.
“This has been a very wonderful experience for our director Narelle, and it has been a very joyous experience for such a talented cast to work together.
“What a way to start the 70th anniversary of Rondo with the hilarious Rumours fully sold out. We’re very excited.”
