THE
LAST STAND AT CENTERSTAGE
Charlie Wood is a player who is about to
discover that one of the women he has
"played" along the way has hatched a
plan to get even … well, let's just say she is
a firm believer in "cutting off the right
hand if it offends you". Only this time she
is hell bent on cutting away more than Woody's
hand, and seems to have read the "bobbet"
story one time too many.
This is the scenario set up for us by award
winning playwright Patrick Brown in his latest
stage offering: "The Last Stand",
which is bound to have the audience on the edge
of their seats, especially the female clan, when
the play has it's world premier at the
Centerstage Theatre on Friday July 23, 2004 at
8pm.
Under the proven clinical directing of Trevor
Nairne, the cast, led by Glen "Titus"
Campbell as Charlie Wood, and Deon Silvera as
Bubbles (one of the aggrieved women), has
breathed exciting life into the characters
created by award winning playwright Patrick
Brown. Brown has given us another though
provoking plot, a plot which explores some
rather serious issues, primarily infidelity,
promiscuity and loyalty. But despite the serious
undertones, in typical Patrick Brown style, the
play is hilariously spiced with comedy … a
laugh-a-line scenario, with universal appeal.
Apart from the seasoned campaigners Campbell and
Silvera, audiences will see the return of young
Donisha Prendergast, who created quite a stir
with her outstanding performance on debut as a
tenacious teenager in "Puppy Love".
She also delighted the Jamaican audience in the
title role of the hugely popular musical comedy
"Cindy-Relisha and the DJ Prince". In
addition Jambiz has again set out to introduce
some new faces to the Jamaican audience,
including young Khadine Hylton, Sharee
McDonald-Russell, Camille Davis and Christopher
Hutchinson. The talent displayed by these young
thespians will excite audiences to the max.
After its world premier on July 23, "The
Last Stand" will have a limited run at
Centerstage, playing Tuesdays to Sundays at 8pm,
with an additional performance (5pm matinee) on
Saturdays and Sundays. |
