Hot off the heels of the positively acclaimed production of A Midsummer Nights dream comes something completely different – Billy Liar directed by CAODS president Amanda Robertson.
Billy Liar is a situation comedy with layers of profound humility. It is set against the backdrop of an industrious town in 1960.
To escape his mundane working class life, Billy creates a fantasy world in which to live, the only problem is his worlds are about to collide. What’s more there’s three women and only one engagement ring.
Rehearsals underway
The play explores a number of themes that resonate heavily in day to day life and in Amanda Robertson’s capable hands it has the capacity to leave a lasting impression. Amanda’s previous directorial production at CAODS was an innovative adaptation of ‘The Doll’s House’ – which proved hugely popular. The small but excellent cast includes island theatre veterans and some new faces.
