It stars Miriam Smith, Moira Walley, Colin Mochrie and Walter Marsh, “Its effect an audiences is quite unique - especially in these days of big budget thrillers at the movies,’’ ex- plains Learning, ‘‘There is something thrilling about seeing’ a live performance, which may be taking place only a few feet away from you, that scares you ‘to death’.”” . . The play is set in a coun- try farmhouse where Jan and Greg have moved to put their marriage back together. Jan has recently had a ner- vous breakdown and is strained further when Greg’s sister, Laura, comes to visit. Jan is convinced that Laura contributed to her having the breakdown, and is not hap- py about her ‘staying at the cottage.

The © situation deteriorates further until Colley brings us to the shocking and surprising climax. The play has received crit- _ ical as well as popular ac- claim frora Vancouver au- diences. For safety reasons, the Playhouse advises ticket buyers to come with a friend.
