Rapture - The Production Values Are High And The Audience Was Suitably Impressed

 
 

Three middle-aged couples appear to be reasonably happy with their lives.  That is until one of the couples reveals that they have had an epiphany of sorts and are moving on, leaving their old friendships behind. Thus begins the real drama in the Pymble Players' latest production, Rapture.

The scenery is stylish and monochromatic, with harbour views.  This is a clever nod to the success and status of the homeowners as well as a symbol of the mundanity of the lives of the 40-somethings who are gathering for a dinner party.  Their clothes, though nice, are also devoid of any colour. Have their lives really become this monotonous?

Rapture will play at 55A Mona Vale Rd (Cnr Bromley Ave), Pymble until 19th March.  It is not to be missed.
