WORKSHOP THEATRE
CONCLUDING PERFORMANCES.
A SUCCESSFUL SEASON.
Once again an appreciative audience filled the Orphans’ Hall last evening on the occasion of the concluding performance of the Invercargill Workshop Theatre’s season of three one-act plays. From the point of view of the appreciation shown by the audiences on the three nights, the season was eminently successful. On each evening those who attended gained a better insight into drama.
The first play presented was “The Distant Drum,” by Malcolm Harrison, the scene of which was laid in the West Indies, islands of mystery to the white man. Extremely effective was “Symphony in Illusion” (James Wallace Bell) which dealt in a vivid manner with war’s cruelties. Shavian devotees had no reason to be disappointed with the presentation of “The Man of Destiny,” which contains so many of G. B. Shaw’s characteristic touches. Humour there was in plenty, and it was brought out well by the members of the cast.
