24.01.2022 And the loser is... In a non-virus world this would have been opening night for The Bridesmaid Must Die. Sadly, the virus has killed off all the characters! Thats a plot twist which no one saw coming. BUT well be back in 2021 with this production so all our audiences will be able to vote for their least favourite character. Thanks to our cast and creatives for an outstanding rehearsal period... so far ....well just pick up the pieces again in the new year.

04.01.2022 Scheduled to close this weekend but now moved to 2021, lets have a peek as a tribute to the cast who would have been bringing you The Bridesmaid Must Die, directed by Leigh Oswin. Yasmine (Bindy Stephens) is marrying Calab. She has grown up with a life of privilege and status. Raylene (Fiona Reilly) is her mother. She married into new money. Julia (Tia Landeg) is Yasmins sister. She is a beatnik lesbian poet. In the Bridal Party are Bree Taylor (Mallory Schipper), the Maid o...f Honour and Yasmines closest and longest friend. She is a hedonistic, pleasure-seeker. And theres Phillipa, (Tash McCulloch) who is an obnoxiously sweet worrier with a string of bad relationships behind her. Calab Roach (Hamish Wooders) is the confident, cocky groom a real catch. Lucas Marsden (Jimmy Harrison) is Phillipas ex-boyfriend and cares for Phillipa deeply He dreams of being happily married, is obsessive and unstable. No bridesmaid has died yet. But wait until opening night, Friday 30 April 2021, for your chance to change the scenario when you and the audience cast the vote which will doom one of the characters to die. The Bridesmaid Must Die and you can make it happen! Photos by Luca Schild. See more
