Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
Based on the comedy film, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is set on the French Riviera and is all about two individuals who are trying to dazzle a millionaire heiress. Michael Praed plays the con man who makes a healthy living trying to persuade rich women to part with their cash. Written by Golden Globe and Emmy Award-Winner Jeffrey Lane, the scenes are full of hilarity which, more often than not, lead to real belly-aching laughter!
The set was absolutely brilliant and, from scene to scene,
the transition was completely seamless. As for the costumes, they were superb
and reflective of the period and characters’ varied personalities. There was a
variety of dancing scenes expertly executed by the troupe. The cowboy dancing
and the salsa dancing were a joy to watch.

Michael Praed and Noel Sullivan, in particular, made a great
pairing and you could tell a lot of rehearsal had gone into their performances.
Gary Wilmot and Geraldine Fitzgerald also had a great double
act that endeared the audience. The pair
were, by far, the audience’s favourites.
Carly Stenson played the lead female role and has a great
voice. Her career is sure to go onwards and upwards.
This was a most cheerful production with lots of laughter to be had; this
isn’t a production to miss.
