The Slings & Arrows timeline

[Reposted from my previous blog, which I'm going to deactivate soon.]

I’ve attempted to compile as much information as possible about the timeline of Slings & Arrows as a resource for myself and other fic writers. By “resource” I do not mean “definitive guide,” because, as I suspected going in, it does not hold together very well. There’s one obvious inconsistency—Richard has supposedly been at the festival for eight years, but doesn’t know Geoffrey. There’s a sense I get, which I’ve seen at least one other person agree with but I don’t know if anyone else does, that based on the way everyone talks about the famous Hamlet and how much Oliver and Ellen have aged since then, it must have been more than seven years ago.

Under a cut for length and spoilers.

S1E1 • The Toronto Maple Leafs were eliminated in the first round of the 2003 Stanley Cup playoffs, so the 2003 season at New Burbage has to have opened in mid-April. (Apparently the guy sitting behind the Minister of Culture during the show is a Philadelphia Fliers fan.) • Kate saw Geoffrey’s Hamlet when she was 12, which would put her at 19 now. • Oliver has directed the Dream 10 times. Ellen has played Titania 6 times. Stratford does the Dream roughly every five years. • Basil says “Here’s to another 25 years with the festival.” He doesn’t explicitly say Ellen’s already been with the festival for 25 years, but that seems to be the implication. If we assume she has a college degree, she must be at least 48, meaning she would have played Ophelia at 41. If we assume she arrived as a teenager, like Kate, she’s more like 44 and played Ophelia at 37. Either way, it would mean she had already been with the festival 18 years by the time of Geoffrey’s breakdown. • This is the festival’s 44th season, meaning the festival was founded in 1959. • Oliver saw Burton’s Hamlet in ’64, and it sounds like he was an adult. That would put him at least in his early 60s. • Oliver seems to claim that his sleeping with Ellen was responsible for Geoffrey’s great performance. Obviously this is a stretch, and Oliver later admits it wasn’t true. But I doubt he would be even making that claim if he had slept with Ellen between the second and third shows, as many fans have assumed. It sounds like they slept together before the show opened. • Ellen angrily whispers “Tell him!” to Oliver, confirming that they’ve already slept together by opening night. But Geoffrey doesn’t know. So Oliver is claiming that by sleeping with Ellen and not telling Geoffrey about it, he somehow made a major difference in Geoffrey’s performance. • Past!Ellen still seems to be of typical childbearing age—probably closer to 37 than 41. Although given that Geoffrey is extremely drunk and probably already not in the best mental health, he might be overestimating how easy it would be for Ellen to get pregnant.

S1E2 • Anna knows Geoffrey, but Richard doesn’t, even though Richard has supposedly been with the festival for eight years. • One of the speakers at the funeral met Oliver at the Manitoba Theatre Center in 1978. • Geoffrey says “There was a kind of electricity in this place I have not experienced anywhere else,” which I’m guessing means his professional theatre experience is not limited to New Burbage and Theatre Sans Argent.

S1E3 • Geoffrey’s other roles at New Burbage included Romeo, Mark Antony, and Prince Hal. It’s not specified whether he played Antony in Julius Caesar or Antony and Cleopatra. • Darren directed Titus Andronicus in ’97, one year after Geoffrey’s breakdown. Geoffrey seems to have seen it, implying he was out of the hospital by then. • Geoffrey stormed the stage in the middle of a college performance. Admittedly, it’s implied to have been an insensitive one, but still, this suggests to me that he already had some mental health issues. • Geoffrey and Ellen played “all the great love scenes” together—probably an exaggeration, but there was definitely more than just R+J and Hamlet.

S1E6

• The actor playing Laertes was named Brian, and seems to have been someone both Ellen and Geoffrey knew well. Is it the same Brian we meet in Season 2? He looks way too young. There could easily be two different Brians—after all, there are two different Barbaras. You’d think if there were multiple Brians Geoffrey might distinguish among them, but then again, Ellen probably remembers which Brian played her brother.

• This is kind of a tangent, but does anyone else get the sense our heroes have more of a history with Basil than we’re being told about?

• At this point Claudius is not being played by Brian Cabot, but by a guy named Alan.

• The end credits distinguish the past and present actors by listing Jack’s castmates as “Horatio” and Geoffrey’s as “Horatio (1996)”, confirming that the show does take place in 2003.

S2E1 • Kate receives and accepts a marriage proposal from a well-established actor, which makes me doubt that she’s really supposed to be 19 or 20. • When Ellen asks whether Geoffrey really hasn’t slept with anyone in 8 years, Geoffrey says “You have to remember I was in an asylum.” I think this implies he was hospitalized for a fairly long time.

S2E2 • Veronica Tennant is a real person; I don’t think she’s supposed to be related to Geoffrey. • Geoffrey says he’s known Ellen for ten years. Does that include the seven-year gap? If so, they only knew each other for two years pre-Hamlet; if not, it’s more like nine years. Two is highly unlikely given the number of times they’re implied to have acted together, but possible given the structure of the New Burbage season (see S2E6). Nine seems a little too long but is plausible, although presumably they weren’t dating for that entire time. • Henry refers to New Burbage as “home”, implying he spent a substantial chunk of his early career there. It’s not clear how much he overlapped with Geoffrey and Ellen.

S2E3 • Henry and Brian played Hal and Falstaff opposite each other. It was probably since the disastrous Hamlet if Brian is indeed the same Brian who played Laertes. Henry has also played Hamlet, and Macbeth three times.

S2E5 • Oliver directed Geoffrey in R+J twice, and the first one was 20 years ago—12 years before Hamlet. He was upstaging Mercutio during the Queen Mab speech, so he was either Romeo or Benvolio. • Ellen played Paulina in The Winter’s Tale at some point.

S2E6 • Darren and Geoffrey were in college together in 1980. If they were freshmen, that would mean Geoffrey was about 34 at the time of his breakdown and 41 when he returned to the festival. • Sarah says that Romeo and Juliet is going to run for twelve weeks. This implies that New Burbage productions don’t run for the entire season the way Stratford productions do, which would also explain why, in Season 1, Hamlet starts later in the season than the Dream despite being the flagship production. If we assume that this season, like the previous season, opens in mid-April, Romeo and Juliet would only run until mid-July. Then, if the next set of plays opens immediately afterward and runs for twelve weeks, the season ends in mid-October.

S3E2 • Ellen says “We’re not in the Young Company anymore” implying that she and Geoffrey were both in the New Burbage Young Company. • Ellen was in Three Sisters with Charles at the National Arts Center—she played Masha, Barbara played Olga, and I’m guessing from their relative ages that Charles played Chebutykin. This seems to be the only time they’ve worked together, so presumably he hasn’t worked at New Burbage much during Ellen and Geoffrey’s adult lives, unless Ellen and Charles just happened to never be cast in the same play. • Geoffrey and Charles, however, have obviously worked together quite a bit, but we never learn where or when. • Barbara has been cast as Ellen’s older sister twice, so I’m guessing either they’re very close in age or Barbara’s a bit older. Barbara is getting hot flashes earlier than expected, which would imply that Ellen is not yet getting hot flashes.

S3E3 • Oliver directed Geoffrey in seven plays at New Burbage. This does not eliminate the possibility that he could have directed Geoffrey in more plays elsewhere, or that Geoffrey was in other plays at New Burbage with other directors.

S3E5 • Ellen says that she and Barbara were “roommates on tour,” implying that’s how they met. I don’t know whether this was for Three Sisters or something else. Judging from the fact that Geoffrey already knows Barbara, this seems to have been before Ellen and Geoffrey got together. Ellen was apparently “crazy about” a guy named Mike Greenfield, whom she found having sex with a girl named Mary in the green room. • When Barbara says she and Ellen are “bitter and menopausal,” Ellen starts to say “I’m not—” and then breaks off. She’s admitted to being “bitter” in the past, and “I’m not menopausal!” would be the funnier response, so this is further evidence that Ellen is not yet menopausal. • Barbara says that Ellen’s been at New Burbage “her whole life,” although clearly there’s been at least one short break.

S3E6 • Frank says he’s been with New Burbage “ever since it was a tent,” even though, according to S1E3, he wasn’t there for Geoffrey’s breakdown.

Other notes • In 2003, Paul Gross and Mark McKinney both turned 44, Martha Burns turned 46, Stephen Ouimette turned 49, Don McKellar turned 40, Susan Coyne turned 45, and Rachel McAdams and Luke Kirby both turned 25. (Of course, Rachel McAdams played a high school student in Mean Girls that same year.) Paul Gross would have been 41 when he played Hamlet at Stratford. Martha Burns played Ophelia at some point before that, but I wasn’t able to find any indication of when. • It’s never explained what differentiates the apprentices from the Young Company, except that the Young Company get large roles instead of playing “maids and fairies.” If we accept that Kate really is supposed to be 19 when we meet her, perhaps apprenticeships are for college students on vacations or actors starting their careers directly out of high school, whereas the Young Company is for people who’ve just finished their acting degrees. However, that seems not to have been how it was for the Stratford Young Company, on which the New Burbage one is presumably modeled: Susan Coyne was in several Young Company productions when she was nearly thirty and had already performed in a regular production at Stratford.

Additions, theories, input from people who know more about theatre than I do all welcome!

al things considered — when i post my masterpiece #1244

first posted in facebook november 28, 2023

conroy maddox -- "the lesson [1938]" (1970?)

"he was known by the appropriately surrealist nickname of 'coma', a piece of wordplay using the first two letters of his first and last names, which hints at both the playful aspect of surrealism, and the dreamlike state that the artists conveyed in their works" … anna niederlander

"a surrealist does not know what he is doing. dalí didn't know what he was doing. i don't know what i'm doing. something happens and it develops, but you don't analyse it. by doing that you destroy a surrealist image" … conroy maddox

"'the lesson' was possibly one of maddox's earliest works. it has been understood that the figure sitting down is observing his younger self. this 'younger self' is covering his eyes, as to not observe the scenes taking place in the windows in front of him. there is a large eye staring out from the top left window, hinting at the surrealist emphasis on the idea of looking, and constantly questioning how we observe the world around us" … anna niederlander

"so there was … maybe you might say there was an element of the shock tactics about this, of course, but that was quite valid because one wanted to jerk the people out of their ordinariness, this confrontation with reality which is a bit elusive when you think of it, you know, what is reality? the surrealists have always questioned it" … conroy maddox

"i don't know what i'm doing … and let THAT be a lesson to all of you" … al janik

watching grey’s anatomy for the first time after only watching private practice: another long and obnoxious stream of my thoughts while watching (season 7 edition)

-amelia!!!! yay

-“i have a lot of sisters. if we bought them all coffee, we’d have nothing” okay derek is funny sometimes

-HOW OLD IS AMELIA? it’s stated through dialogue in pp that addison knew her when she was twelve which implies that they are at least about ten years apart (and therefore she is also ten years younger than derek) but somehow she was also five during their dad’s death when derek was twelve, is older than meredith, and got fired from her fellowship in pp but is somehow still a big girl surgeon who can do her own surgeries?

-mark/amelia sex is grossing me out.

-frances conroy!!! this show has so many good guest stars

-marks improvised budget pitch to richard definitely sounds like he’s trying to fuck him

-alex is singing camp rock to the little girl in the MRI thingy. into it.

-the head of pathology is anna draper!!

-okay, arizona telling callie she’s ruining africa for her is a *little* unfair. they should have discussed this more beforehand.

-after however many seasons of them i can genuinely tell you nothing of note about the new characters except that the virgin girl was also in svu and mad men

-arizona sweetie your biphobia is showing

-“i’m trying to look at baileys teets on the internet” RICHARD! (adele webber voice)

-i don’t love the way they’re writing meredith this season. i usually really really like her character even when she fucks up, but she just feels different this season idk. maybe it’s the bangs.

-tyler the nurse!!! i feel like he hasn’t really been around much these past few seasons. i missed him.

-starting to strongly dislike owen. he thought that she was just playing a little joke when she said she never wanted kids??? or that he could browbeat her until she gave in??? “you’re a resident, you might change your mind” ??????? it’s not a decision most people are usually wish washy about dude. you knew this before you married her!!!! “i don’t get a say?” the time to have a say would have been before you were married when she TOLD YOU she didn’t want kids

-arizona sweetie your biphobia is showing AGAIN

-arizona and owen are on my list at this point (ep 16)

-idc what anyone says i LOVE the musical episode (side note: sara ramirez is a fantastic singer)

-meredith, babygirl. i have not been this frustrated with your decisions since season one/two.

-officially HATE owen. deeply. i don’t know how many more ways she can tell him she doesn’t want kids. she has been explicitly clear from the beginning. he’s going on and on about partnerships and both having a say yet what he so clearly means is “i want a chance to argue you into this” as if it’s a trivial decision and not a fundamental difference in how they want to live their lives. and as if it’s not ultimately her body. this is not something you can compromise about, you stupid ginger fuck!!!!!

-also: “i don’t hate children. i respect them. and i believe that they should have parents who want them” !!!!!!!

-every time i want to side with derek, he ruins it by being self righteous and then running away

#nobody is reading all this lmao #greys anatomy #meredith grey #derek shepherd #christina yang #owen hunt #callie torres #arizona robbins #calzona #merder #anti owen hunt #amelia shepherd #greys reactions

re: your replies on this post, do you know of any scholarly works (articles—if you know of any—or books are both fine with me) that focus on the psychology of perpetration? i hope things get easier for you soon.

Thank you for your good wishes.

I'm going to make this unrebloggable as per @amarocit (OP of the linked post)'s wishes about posts not being circulated too much, but I wanted to answer this question. I have a weird selection of recommendations for you on this topic, most of which are as much philosophical as clinical:

James Gilligan, Violence: Reflections on a National Epidemic C. Fred Alford, What Evil Means to Us Sue Grand, The Reproduction of Evil: A Clinical and Cultural Perspective

The literature on state torture includes a lot more first-person accounts by perpetrators, many of which I have found really meaningful to engage with. There is overlap with dynamics of other types of perpetration, but of course also significant differences. The most accessible place to start on that topic is probably John Conroy's Unspeakable Acts, Ordinary People: The Dynamics of Torture.

I don't know that I would particularly suggest reading clinical texts on this topic, but if you really want to, Anna Salter's Treating Child Sex Offenders and Victims is likely the place to go (not so much her book Predators which I wouldn't recommend for a number of reasons).

How I Would Make a “Bonkers” Movie

I was thinking about “Bonkers” for a while and I came up with a hypothetical movie based on the show, because 1, I’m fascinated by the show’s lore, and 2, Chip n Dale 2022 ripped off the show’s 2 part pilot episode.

The problem is that I can’t make a good plot out of this hypothetical Bonkers movie, because I want it to have a good beginning, solid middle part, and an epic conclusion. But I came up with ideas of what I could do with a Bonkers movie. So here’s what I would do if I were tasked to make a movie based off of “Bonkers”.

1: Connect the Lucky Piquel and Miranda Wright episodes more closely and fix some plot holes in the latter episodes, like explaining how Bonkers got a new home when he had a trailer for a home in the former episodes.

2: Have cameos appearances of various cartoons characters, of course, but also come up with creative ideas with them (for example, The Once-ler from Illumination’s The Lorax, Anna and Elsa from Frozen, Ariel from The Little Mermaid, and Sing characters like Ash, Rosita and Gunter and Johnny being actors turned singers).

3: Have the Muppets make a cameo.

4: Explicitly be tied to the same universe as Roger Rabbit (also having Roger and Jessica making a cameo as a treat).

5: Have subtle callbacks to the show like The Muppets 2011 did to past Muppets movies.

6: Not make it cynical. In fact, call out works that make edgy humor involving toons being jaded just for realism’s sake.

7: And going with 6, call out live action remakes of animated works, especially Disney remakes.

8: Going with 2, if Warner Bros. say yes, I would include cameos appearances of characters from Netflix’s adaptation of “Green Eggs and Ham”.

9: Going with 8, I would also include cameos appearances of DCAU characters, though that might be tricky since Kevin Conroy is dead.

10: Have all different forms of animation be in the movie, unlike Chip n Dale 2022, where most of the animation is 3D animated.

11. Expand on the lore of the show, like toons of the past being aware of The Collector (and to an extent Judge Doom), but to toons of today like the ones from DreamWorks, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Sony Picture Animation, and Illumination, The Collector is just some boogeyman for toons.

That’s pretty much of what I would incorporate if I were to make a Bonkers movie. If anyone in the Bonkers fandom can figure out a good plot for this hypothetical movie, either comment or reblog my post and share your input!

This is CartoonPrincess, and I will see you all next time! Bye!

9-1-1 Newbie Binge: Thoughts and THOTs

Preamble Ramble: Why is it so hard to jump on mutuals' fan-wagons even as I'm pining for them to jump on mine? I know I'm not the only one who experiences this phenomenon. What is this Imp of the Perverse, and why is he such a recalcitrant little shit? I DON'T KNOW. HE THINKS HE'S FUNNY, BUT HE'S A COCKBLOCKER.

Anyway! After 2 years of skimming gifs and keyboard smashes about Station 118, I found myself some time this weekend to dive in. I had some vague expectations of pretty firefighters who eye-fuck each other, Angela Bassett being Queen of Everything (naturally), Casey from Sports Night having time-warped into a dorky DILF, and apparently JLoHew is being allowed to age like a normal human woman? How goddamn refreshing. Okay, let's check it out.

I'm 8 episodes in so far, and holy shit:

Stream of consciousness impressions so far:

Oh, this is Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuck, I had no idea! I have watched so much American Horror Story. Oh, that's the Angela Bassett connection, and - sonofabitch - there's Connie Britton, OF COURSE. And then Frances Conroy is an AHS regular, and she starred in Six Feet Under with Peter Krause, OOOooo-kay, I see the shape this is taking.

Reader, I did not see the shape this was taking. Murphy and Falchuck were also the show runners for Pose, which while fabulous and fun, also displayed heartfelt dignity and thoughtful sensitivity to various social issues, with a gritty touch of realism amongst the madcap adventures and pageantry. I figured this might be the same.

"9-1-1, what's your emergency?" "I hear crying in the walls."

Normal Show: Oh dear, a kitten got trapped in a vent somewhere.

9-1-1: Clearly, someone flushed a premature baby down the toilet.

NO, REALLY. I thought this was a batshit theory for questionable comedic effect that would be scoffed at as the kitten was dug out of the insulation. They tried to tell me with a straight face that the bones would be soft enough to slither through the u-bend, the baby would have survived the flush, and it would have enough lung capacity for a stoner to hear it though iron pipe and purple haze. And nobody in the entire apartment building has tried to flush in the last hour. I was not buying this for a second.

And MORE FOOL ME, because next thing I know, they're crouched around a length of pipe that's crowning like a steampunk industrial vagina from the land of nightmares, breathlessly delivering something straight out of the American Horror Story prop department's S4 leftovers, using the lube from the defibrillator kit (why that last detail sent me so hard I could not say, but my gawd). And "she" LIVED. Of course. Yep, uh-huh. And then absolutely no follow-up on what would happen to the traumatized teen mother and the... dad who raped her? I'm inferring? NOPE, this ain't Criminal Minds, this ain't Law & Order, all plot threads are snipped at the sliding doors to the ER.

(Oh yeah, JLoHew was also in Criminal Minds for awhile, hey girl hey!)

Okay, it's gonna be THAT kind of show. All righty then. I'm oriented. I'm prepared now.

(I was not prepared.)

I thought I was. I was taking nothing seriously. I went with it when Buck chopped the head off a 12 foot python, then comforted its owner with his own trouser snake. I lol'd when his therapist tripped and landed on his dick. I was still cackling over the bouncy house full of rich brats flying off over a cliff in the high Santa Anna winds, when suddenly, this happened RIGHT ON MY TV SCREEN:

THIS. HAPPENED. And the funniest part is, this is the ONLY thing that the character didn't whine about for the entire episode. Is his name... Chimney? Really? Like, that was his name before his skull was vented? LOLLLLLL More AHS props were dug out for the close-up brain surgery, the squelchy sound effects when they pulled the rebar out were DELIGHTFUL, truly, even better than when the fetus was schlorped out of the toilet pipe, well done FX crew, A+++ all around. In a lovely bit of hand-waving, Chimney (*snerrrk*) suffered no pain, no evident psychological trauma, the rebar seems to have reamed out his self-pity, and in a few episodes he returns from his hospital vacay into the welcoming arms of his co-workers, and - just in case we forgot why he'd been gone - there was cake.

KEEP IT CLASSY, Y'ALL

Oh god, what else. The insane plane crash rescue sequences were *chef's kiss*. Athena getting her Fast & Furious on to deliver a kidney transplant was super fun, all Queen Athena assumptions are being fulfilled as expected. The attempted date between Abby and Buck was OHMYGODREALLY lolforever with the tracheostomy, A+ reversal of expectations as to who would be penetrating whom, bitch, you thought. And again, he pops up next episode without even a scar on his throat, and you know what, after cleaning my mother's tracheostomy twice a day for 7 months in 2008? I'LL ALLOW IT. ESCAPIST FANTASY FOR ALL, NO CONSEQUENCES, GIVE IT TO ME, AMEN. Who was the hottie in the wheelchair who talked Abby through it on speakerphone, though? I hope we get more of her.

During the toilet-pipe birth scene in the first episode (no, I'm still not over it), it occurred to me that maybe they wanted to do an Oh My God the Baby's Coming trope, but they didn't want to have to bother with actual vaginas with women attached to them? Episode 1.7 says, louder for those in the back: BITCH, YOU THOUGHT, LULZ. But the best, the absolute crowning achievement of everything I've seen so far (pun definitely intended) was THIS:

YES. MINE EYES DIDST NOT DECEIVE ME. That is Evan Himbeau Buckley cheerfully pulling a 3-foot tapeworm out of a groaning twink's ass. Y'all. I filter MPreg out of my fic searches for a reason.

NO, BUCK, DON'T LICK IT. Although props to how delighted you were to get in there and root around, this bodes well for later. I love that he took an axe to a giant constrictor but is treating this Horror from the Deep with tender loving care.

I'm sorry, y'all, if I had to see it, you have to see it.

*whew* Okay, that's enough for now. I'm all in, though. I'm ready to find out how in the Goddess Athena's name Hen is going to make her fuckery up to Karen (whom I also recognize from a brief stint on Criminal Minds, hey girl, what's up). I think I'm only 2 eps away from the first season finale. I'm braced ready.

(probably not)

ABOUT

hi, i’m kaz. i’m twenty-three and in cst. my sleeping schedule is completely flipped due to my job, so pls expect activity to be sporadic, and sometimes at a minimum. i haven’t actually rped in what feels like years and years, so please be patient while i get back into the swing of things.

for the most part this blog is going to be iconless. i may use gifs to match my writing partners, but that’s all. i have zero tech knowledge and as much as i Love pretty graphics.... they do not love me.

this blog is horror-based, and there may be disturbing/nsfw content at times. everything will be, of course, tagged appropriately.

minors dni, please! graphics by the very talented @anacommissions !!!

ABOUT THE IMAGE: Batman: Gotham Knight is a 2008 animated DC anthology film. Consisting of six segments titled; Have I Got a Story for You, Crossfire, Field Test, In Darkness Dwells, Working Through Pain, and Deadshot, each telling a different tale of The Dark Knight.

Produced by DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation in association with Japanese animation studios Studio 4°C, Madhouse, Bee Train and Production I.G.. Set between Warner Bros. Pictures' Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, the film depicts Batman battling against the mob of Gotham City, as well as other villains. The shorts are written by Josh Olson, David S. Goyer, Brian Azzarello, Greg Rucka, Jordan Goldberg and Alan Burnett. Although all use Japanese anime art styles, each segment has its own writing and artistic style, similar to other DC Universe works. All six segments of the anthology film star Kevin Conroy, reprising his voice role as Batman from the DC Animated Universe.

ABOUT THE MEDIUM: Original Production Drawings are one-of-a-kind pieces of art that were used in the creation of an animated film or television show. Each has been hand-drawn by studio artists!

𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗔 𝗖𝗛𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗘’𝗦 ‘‘𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗠𝗢𝗨𝗦𝗘𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗣’’⁣ 𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗥𝗘 𝗥𝗢𝗬𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗬𝗗𝗡𝗘𝗬 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟯𝟬, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟮⁣ ⁣ 🎬 𝗦𝗬𝗡𝗢𝗣𝗦𝗜𝗦 & 😎 𝗡𝗢𝗡-𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗜𝗟𝗘𝗥 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪:⁣ ⁣ 🎬: On the 1st night of Monkswell Manor, a countryside guesthouse outside London, the friendly yet inexperienced innkeepers, Mollie [Anna O’Byrne] & Giles [Alex Rathgeber] Ralston, host 5 guests snowed-in by the inclement weather.⁣ ⁣ The abrupt arrival of Det. Sgt. Trotter [Tom Conroy] causes concern, as he informs everyone that there's a killer among them related to a London-based crime.⁣ ⁣ When someone is murdered, can Trotter act quickly?⁣ ⁣ 😎: The 4 main guests include quirky Christopher Wren [Laurence Boxhall] who is verbose when nervous, judgemental Mrs Boyle [Geraldine Turner] whom annoys everyone with her rude demands, Major Metcalf [Adam Murphy] whom appears friendly & helpful, while Miss Casewell [Charlotte Friels] has returned to the UK for unfinished business.⁣ ⁣ The late evening walk-in, Mr Paravicini [Gerry Connolly], is highly entertaining both in his manner & accent.⁣ ⁣ The ambitious Trotter is tactless & asserts control by his using his police authority rather than being diplomatic. His aggression adds to the tension.⁣ ⁣ In an ensemble cast of good performances, Laurence Boxhall’s portrayal of the over-sharing yet anxious Wren is noteworthy. Mollie likes Wren, but the others find him irritating & ludicrous.⁣ ⁣ Anna O’Byrne is strong as the fledgling innkeeper running the guesthouse with no help. Mrs Boyle is unimpressed with the lack of staff, yet fails to recognise how hard Mollie works to keep everyone happy.⁣ ⁣ Australian director Robyn Nevin does well to bring to life this iteration of Agatha Christie’s complex whodunnit. Is the murderer an obvious choice?⁣ ⁣ During Sydney's opening night red carpet, 25-year veteran journalist Tim Shaw [pictured] revealed that Bronwyn Bishop, the former Speaker of the Australian House of Representatives, was the murderer. The only problem is…she wasn’t in the show!⁣ ⁣ Thanks to @themousetrapau & @ippublicity_; ‘The Mousetrap’ will run until Oct 30, 2022 at the Theatre Royal Sydney. ©️ #TheMousetrapAU (at Theatre Royal Sydney) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjpF77Qvj-6/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
