The play, which has been described as "distinctly exhilarating," is set in a famous caricaturist's London studio, a cocktail scene in Mayfair and an Italian bedroom. This will be a unique theatrical event as it will be the caricaturist's and amateur producer's first appearance in Australia as a playwright. To be preceded by Helton Daniell's sketch "In a Glass Darkly," The setting is the dressing room of an actor. |
