Director’s NotesWe have two very different plays on offer tonight. One, a fun satire of the familiar murder mystery, and the other an exploration of that all-too-human emotion - fear. It’s a delight to be able to present a play by the Year 12 class and have the Year 10/11 class be involved. Both plays have taken a lot of work, time and effort from the students (and their families). Where possible, design choices and creative input was left to the students, and I think they’ve done a pretty amazing job. Some of the ideas in the plays are quite serious, and I’ve been impressed with the maturity the students have shown in presenting them.FInally, I want to say a special thank you to my family and my school family for supporting me personally. Some House Keeping• The performance runs for about one and a half hours, and there is a short interval• Please turn off mobile phones or put them onto ‘silent’ mode during the performance• The toilets are located outside, at the side of the building• Parents are asked to please wait for a few minutes while their children help pack up• Please note that the second act contains some scenes that small children may nd scary
