The action takes place in Cornwall at Manderley, the De Winter estate, which is filled with memories of the elegant and flamboyant Rebecca DeWinter who has died in a sailing accident the year before. The story begins with Maxim De Winter returning to Manderley with his new wife, the rather timid and shy 'second Mrs De Winter.' Very soon she is treated with sullen hostility by Rebecca's devoted maid and housekeeper, the malaevolent and obsessive Mrs Danvers, who convinces her that Maxim is still in love his dead wife, along with all the other inhabitants at Manderley, and that she would be better off dead, as she will never be loved as much as Rebecca was. The behaviour of the other characters, including Maxim, in not wishing to be reminded of Rebecca bear this out, until the secrets and lies that have been buried for a year begin to 'resurface'... CAST FRITH – butler to the Manderley estate – 50s/60s “DANGEROUS CORNER” by J.B.Priestley (Period 1930s)At their stylish country retreat, Freda and Robert Caplan host a dinner party for their colleagues and friends, all executives at the prestigious Whitehouse publishing company. Initially the characters present a picture of harmony and success. Then a cigarette box and and an ill-considered remark spark off a relentless series of revelations and other, more dangerous secrets are painfully exposed. As the truth spills out about the suicide of Robert's clever, reckless brother, and the group's perfect lives begin to crumble as one by one the characters reveal each of their buried secrets. CASTFREDA CAPLAN (married to Robert and sister of Gordon) 30s/40s If you would like to be kept informed of future productions please enter your email address in the box below. FUTURE WORKSHOPSWe offer workshops to new members and/or people who would like to act, but have never done so before and want to gain more confidence. It was suggested this could take place one night a week (Tuesdays). It is not necessarily with a view to putting on a production at the finish, but more as a proper workshop to learn tips on stage acting. We are looking for volunteers who could perhaps offer their own acting experience to others and it would be on a kind of rota basis – i.e. somebody take the workshop for say, 2/3 weeks and then another person would take over for a few weeks etc. Its an interesting addition to the St G’s agenda. There would be a £2 weekly charge for anyone taking part.
