If you’re looking for a fun evening to celebrate Christmas, the ideal night out is at the ANU Arts Centre where renowned restaurant Teatro Vivaldi and Centrepiece Theatre join forces for a fantastic musical theatre event.
A fabulous farce translated from French by director Aaron Ridgway, Centrepiece Theatre presents 8 Women, a musical murder mystery complete with eight women (of course), lots of laughter and more twists and turns than a hyperactive eel.
8 Women is a smart, sexy French comedy set in 1960s France. A wealthy industrialist is found murdered in his bedroom. The murder sends shock waves through the Avignon family, who are supposed to be celebrating Christmas. One by one the women become suspects, as it emerges that each and every one of them had a motive to bump off Marcel.
With an accomplished cast of Canberran women aged from 21 to over 80, the piece weaves comedy, music (original scores plus songs you’ll know) and a fine French feast from Teatro Vivaldi, around the mystery of Marcel’s death.
Season starts 10 December for one week. Meal and show tickets $70. Bookings essential on 6257 2718.
