Twenty years ago a production of the 1920’s melodrama Harrow Hall closed when the leading man Terence was accidentally but fatally stabbed during a performance. Now the Palace Theatre is under threat of redevelopment and some of the players are re-assembled to produce the play as part of the ‘Save The Palace Theatre’ fund raising campaign.
However, the shadow cast by the death of Terence is a long one, more than one of the current cast are still affected by the accident…or was it? Why is Anne’s husband so keen to Save The Palace Theatre? What exactly is the connection they all have with the previous production? Why does Malcolm only communicate through his lighting? Gossip, infidelity, money and a stage whisper that still echoes around the theatre...with terrible consequences.

Goldoni is made grouse in this colourful and riotous comic masterpiece. Truffaldino doesn’t really think through the problems inherent in having two bosses – especially when they’re unaware of each other’s presence and desperate to get back into each other’s pants. Our hero reckons he’s found a way of increasing his coin and food income on his labour. Or, as he puts it: “two masters, two wages, two dinners – too right!”
