Dangerous Corner
Robert and Freda Caplan are hosting a dinner party for their
colleagues and friends at their stylish country retreat. They
are young, beautiful and successful, and seemingly have the
world at their feet, but the suicide of one of their number
the previous year leads to an out-pouring of the dark truth
just beneath the surface. The action revolves around a momentary
choice, when one of the characters decides to tell the truth
about an insignificant detail, leading to the discovery that
nothing is as it seems. Betrayal, fraud and murder are exposed
as the foundations of their comfortable lives.
This West Yorkshire Playhouse production of the JB Priestley
play features Ballykissangel's Dervla Kirwin, ex-Casualty
star Patrick Robinson and Jacqueline Pearce.

Vagina Monologues
Eve Ensler's thought provoking and witty series of stories
dealing with the ins and outs of the female genitalia and
collected during interviews with hundreds of women, attracted
a multitude of celebrities to the stage for its 1998 off-Broadway
premiere including Winona Ryder, Glenn Close and Whoopie Goldberg
as well as winning Ensler an Obie Award.
It then played a sell-out six week run at the King's Head
in London in 1999 which included a star-studded charity performance
at the Old Vic on Valentine's Day. Once again, a host of well-known
faces, including Elizabeth McGovern, Nina Wadia and Lauren
Ward (until December 15), are lined up to deliver the monologues,
which include stories such as Hair, The Flood, and If Your
Vagina Could Talk, What Would It Say?.

forces all three of them to re-examine their friendship and
the direction in which it is going.
