About the Show

Robert and Freda Caplan are entertaining guests at their country retreat. A chance remark by one of the guests ignites a series of devastating revelations, revealing a hitherto undiscovered tangle of clandestine relationships and dark secrets, the disclosures of which have tragic consequences. The play ends with time slipping back to the beginning of the evening and the chance remark not being made, the secrets remaining hidden and the "dangerous corner" avoided.
Dangerous Corner will be performed from Wednesday 2nd to Saturday 5th May 2012 at the Compass Theatre, Ickenham.

Middlesex.   Auditions will start at 10.30am, although you are welcome to join us from 10am for tea, coffee and scintillatingly witty conversation.  The audition call will end at approximately 4:30pm.
