Volume 14, Number 6, Nov - Dec 2005

Self-deluded Deirdre James (Alexis Beebe) is a theatre's Artistic Director struggling to hold power against the machinations of the Yes-Man (Timothy Wotherspoon) and the cleaning lady, Shereen (Melanie Sharp).

Just when you're beginning to think Grantley McPorpus (Steven Sparke) is likeable, his phobias of everything from sex to stairs convince you otherwise. Throw an aspiring writer, Brian (Izeqiel McCoy) into the mix and it becomes a mad rush for power to see who will emerge on top. Fortunately, in the end, everyone gets what he or she deserves.

While the characters get what they deserve, the actors didn't on opening night with a freak storm flooding the set and causing cancellation of the show. All the cast did well to come back the next night and give an even more energetic performance than the night before.
