Product Information

Gaze inside the walls of a seemingly average family home and greet Mary – a colourful maker of exotic costumes and the domineering mother of the piece, and her put-upon but highly resilient single mother daughter Charlotte. Then there’s family friend Pamela, who’s just suffered a major upheaval. Later, the fourth character appears adding even more spice to this delicious theatrical mix.

One of the most pleasing aspects, for both actors and audiences alike, are the clever lead aways in the text. Just when you feel you can predict the likely outcomes, another twist arrives which takes The Rack into an even more interesting, enjoyable area.

This show has had One Act Play Festival success, and it’s clear to see why. There’s great flexibility in casting, and the character of Helena doesn’t enter until the halfway point – a great opportunity for a skilled, but less experienced player.

The Rack – quite delightful.
