March 5, 2020 - to Switzerland and wildlife
SWITZERLAND, by acclaimed Melbourne playwright, Joanna Murray-Smith (Flame, Honour, Bombshells, The Female of the Species, True Minds, and Three Little Words), is a two-hander, metaphysical thriller set in the secluded Swiss home of Patricia Highsmith, famous author of the Tom Ripley novels.
When meek and mild Edward Ridgeway is sent by Highsmith’s publisher to coax a new Ripley novel out of her, Patricia takes him in, in spite of her usual reservations. As the two of them begin to flesh out the new book a power struggle plays out between them.
Director Lee Cook has cast the roles of Highsmith and Ridgeway superbly. This will be The Mount Players’ Victorian Drama League entry for 2020 after bringing home the Best Production for 2019 with Twelve Angry Men.
All proceeds from the Thursday, March 5 performance will be donated to Wildlife Victoria with opportunities to donate to Wildlife Victoria at every performance.
