A State of Affairs comes to the Little Little Theatre

Monday, December 13, 2010

A State of Affairs, written by leading playwright Basil Dawkins, opens on Monday, December 27 at the Little Little Theatre, with two performances.

A State of Affairs centres on the life of a couple, both of whom are in their second marriage. The husband — who is a very good-natured and charming young man — has become deeply concerned about his increasing and compulsive urges to cheat on his wife. So, in an attempt to save his marriage and protect his wife from inevitable pain, the husband seeks counselling from the church. But in the pursuit of a solution to his issue, he stirs up a hornet's nest by revealing some 'strange truths'. The husband, together with the audience, then learn that things are not always what they appear to be and the causes of problems may come from the most unexpected sources.

The cast will include outstanding actors: Jerry Benzwick, as the husband; Sakina, his wife; Rishille Bellamy-Pelicie, the young counsellor and Actor Boy Lead Actress awardee Ruth HoShing — senior counsellor and director at the church facility. 2009 Actor Boy Best Director awardee Douglas Prout, is the director.

A State Of Affairs not only offers a belly-full of laughter — which is needed nowadays to ease the daily pressures of life — but brings into sharp focus the fact that traditional approaches are not always the best and most effective methods to resolving challenges within the family and personal relationships. In fact, viable change and results can come through brand new applications, including the use of the social network system, smart phones and the worldwide web," said Basil Dawkins.

As is customary, Basil Dawkins is offering the play as a fund-raiser to organisations wishing to raise funds to boost their social outreach projects. The play will run Tuesdays to Thursdays; with two shows on Saturdays and Sundays.
