The Uninvited

First-time director Rianna Hartley-Smith has assembled a talented cast including Nicola Barrett, David Fraser, Peta Simeon, Nathan Schulz, Margaret Radcliffe and Cecile Campbell for this ten-hander thriller, which is full of mystery and intrigue, with strong performances from all involved.  

Set in western England in the 1960’s, the story revolves around an old cliff-top house that has been uninhabited for a number of years and has been the focus of various stories over that time.

With a very wide stage, the single set was suited for the piece, which culminated with a séance (pictured) which was well directed.

Technical support was a feature of the production, which included a very strange noise at the precise moment one of the cast saw an image in her compact mirror. (I later found out that it was an audio malfunction – but the timing couldn’t have been more perfect!!!)

Congratulations to all concerned with the production.
