DANGEROUS CORNER
Next Thursday night heralds the return and farewell visit of Whitehall Productions (London and Australia) third attraction, J. B. Priestley’s thrilling problem play “Dangerous Corner.” There are no stars in this play, the dialogue being split up evenly among the seven players, but it serves to introduce two up and coming young artists, Rod Douglas and Gordon Chater. The latter artists served with distinction in the British Navy during the war and was demobilised in Australia. They were not in the cast of Whitehall’s previous offering “Love in Idleness.”
The Dunedin “Otago Times” of 12/12/46 said: “The play is an excellent example of the Priestley art. Set in an English country house, amid sophisticated uppc-r and middle class people, it draws the moral that truth is something you can have a little too much of in family relationship. It is a good play, and one of the best things about it is the selfeffacing team-work of the players.” Box plans are now open at Armstrong’s where reservations may be made.
