Coming to the Pavilion Theatre from this weekend, Castle Hill Players will be presenting Ken Ludwig’s hilarious and farcical play Leading Ladies. Directed by Stephen Snars, the play follows the adventure of two English actors, Leo and Jack, who end up attempting to inherit an old ladies inheritance by impersonating her nieces. Leading Ladies features costume changes left, right and centre, and the fast-paced humour will keep audience members rocking in their seats from laughter.
Sydney actress Nicole Harwood plays Meg, a young optimistic character living in the town that characters Leo and Jack come to.
“I think the fact these two ‘women’, as you can call them, come along and show her that there’s a big world out there and she can do more with her life…and that excites her,” said Nicole.
Nicole spoke about the pace and farce of the show, describing how incredibly hilarious the dialogue in the script is and the experience audiences can expect saying, “the audience is kind of not really gonna know where to look because there is so much happening. There’s a lot of hidden gems in the show!”
Audience members can make their night at the theatre seeing Leading Ladies a complete package with the option to enjoy a two-course pre-show dinner at Nobles Restaurant in the Hills Lodge Hotel. Castle Hill Players’ upcoming production of Leading Ladies is not to be missed, and the show promises to deliver a night of side-splitting laughs and incredible costume changes and comedy. As Nicole summed up, “The show is very fast-paced, there’s so much going on. It’s very funny, there’s a lot of laughs to be had. I think audiences are really going to enjoy the ride.”
