The Old Stagers present Eric Chappell's Natural Causes
Advertisement
Vincent is a suicide consultant working for Exodus, a company promising: “A beautiful death. All perfectly natural”. Celia Bryce has been depressed for a long time, frequently talking about ending it all. Celia’s husband Walter, a writer, wants to help her depart this world with dignity. Angie is Walter’s ambitious secretary, and together they have a plan for Celia that implies a much darker agenda. Not just a peaceful end; a fresh start.
In this razor-sharp black comedy by Eric Chappell (the mastermind behind Rising Damp), the best-laid plans go hilariously wrong. With a rubber plant that’s seen better days, a Samaritan with quite enough of his own problems, and a suicide pact that isn’t all that it seems, the real question isn’t if someone will go – it’s who will be left standing.
A farce where the drinks are lethal, the motives are murderous, and the comedy is to die for!
This amateur production of “Natural Causes” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French Ltd.www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
The Old Stagers have been performing in Canterbury every summer since 1842, stopping only for two world wars and one pandemic. Join us this summer for our 173rd season!
By long-standing tradition on Friday and Saturday night the show will be followed by The Epilogue, a short light-hearted revue performed by the cast and friends.
