Treverton College will be presenting its annual school play in May, in the form of a light-hearted melodrama entitled “Chaos at the Cannery”.
Written by Gary McCarver, the play features the requisite villains and heroes, as well as the ubiquitous piano player and a cue card holder, aptly named ‘Paige Turner’.
The play is set in the American Wild West in the 1800s, in the small one-horse town of San Juan. The new sheriff, Mortimer Fatality (Mort for short), is on his way to San Juan on the train.
Unfortunately, he enters into a card game with the dastardly Professor Phineas Mack, who cheats him out of his money, shoots him and takes his place as the sheriff.
The unsuspecting townsfolk gather to welcome their new peacekeeper.
Will they work out who he really is?
Or will they lose their money and possessions to this master of evil tricks?
Starring Jonathan Ogden as Professor Mack, Athi Godlwana as Miss Faye Tality, Mr Kyle Larkan as Mort Tality, Darren Usher-Jones as Dan Belford, the cannery owner, Kean Stroh as his new assistant, Oliver Sudden, Kevin Cui as the bandit Des Berado, and many other pupils (42 in total), the play promises to be a great evening’s entertainment.
