Madagascar October 23, 2010

Black Swan State Theatre Company presents Amanda Muggleton in:

Madagascar
By J.T. Rogers

Season: 23 October – 7 November 2010
Venue: Playhouse Theatre
Director: Kate Cherry
Featuring: Rebecca Davis, Greg McNeill, Amanda Muggleton

Madagascar is the haunting story of a mysterious disappearance that changes three lives forever.

At three different points in time, three people find themselves in the same hotel room overlooking the Spanish Steps in Rome: June, a young woman who works as a tour guide of the city's ancient ruins; Lilian, her wealthy and elegant jet-setting mother; and Nathan, an awkward university economist and the best friend of Lilian's deceased husband.

Slowly, their individual stories unfold: their relationship to each other, what this room means to them, and why they have been called to it slowly reveal themselves. As their stories spill out and weave back and forth - each contradicting, clarifying, or deepening what the others say - the strands join to form one gripping and disquieting tale.

“… thoroughly entertaining and thought-provoking.” Del Mar Times

Madagascar stars an intimate cast of Rebecca Davis, Greg McNeill and Perth favourite Amanda Muggleton! Amanda, returning to Perth for the first time in over 6 years, is most well known to us from her roles in popular television series, Prisoner and most recently in City Homicide and the smash hit play of the season, Calendar Girls!

“A subtle and haunting piece…powerfully captures how little we may know about those we love.” The Telegraph
