WHAT and where is Purgatory? Is it a destination located between Heaven and Hell?
Is it a real or hypothetical place existing in the afterlife or is it found amongst the trials and tribulations we endure here on earth?
Between July 25 and August 3 you can find Purgatory at the Maleny Playhouse.
A miniature epic written and directed by Maleny writer and composer Darren Heskes, Purgatory is a fictional factual tale told in a hilariously comical, dark and farcical manner.
With a talented cast of 16 actors and two musicians, this is the writer’s fourth full-length theatrical work.
Several original songs emerge amongst some serious and uproarious moments. Expect the unexpected and be prepared to laugh out loud even when you know you shouldn’t.
Set in a Sydney nursing home, this is the story of an obsessive matron, an unscrupulous doctor and a woman trapped by her own shadowy past.
They are accompanied by a comical array of mismatched staff and residents.
Performances are on July 25 at 7pm, July 26 at 2pm and 7pm, July 30 at 7pm, August 1 and August 2 at 7pm and August 3 at 2pm.
Tickets $25, Concessions $20. Bookings online at www.trybooking.com
