Dangerous Corner by J.B. Priestley | Chads Theatre | Fri 30 - Sat 31 January

Robert Caplan appears to have it all: a beautiful, intelligent wife and a successful publishing business with his friends and colleagues Olwen Peel, Charles Stanton, and Gordon Whitehouse. True, he lost his brother Martin to suicide, but his future looks promising. However, scratch the surface, and all is not as it seems. The play asks, "How dangerous is the truth?" Is it better to "let sleeping dogs lie," or should the truth be unearthed, whatever the cost? The play presents both possibilities.

Content advice: this play includes references to suicide; gun shots are heard offstage.

This amateur production of "Dangerous Corner" is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Samuel French Ltd. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk

Note that there are 2 performances on Saturday 31st January:- the matinee at 2:30pm and the evening performance at 7:45pm.
