StoneCrabs Theatre brings its physical theatre prowess and Brazilian charm to Donald Churchill’s fantastic and much loved farce about seduction, revenge and mistaken identity.
Presented by StoneCrabs Theatre Company
directed by Franko Figueiredo
cast: Tereza Araujo, Maria Alencar & Marcio Mello
StoneCrabs returns to the stage with a Brazilian take on Donald’s Churchill comedy played by a fantastic trio of Brazilian actors: Tereza Araujo (Brazilian International Press Award 2012), Marcio Mello and Maria Alencar. The play is directed by Franko Figueiredo (Brazilian International Press Award 2011) and presented at The Space.
The Decorator is set in Rio de Janeiro in the swinging Sixties. The Girl from Ipanema is sunbathing at the beach; in the apartment across the road, 40 year old Marcia is in a very difficult position: Jane, the wife of her lover, turns up on her doorstep. Jane has come with the express purpose of taking her revenge by telling Marcia’s husband of his wife’s infidelity.
Marcia is at her wits end until she has a brilliant idea. It seems that her house decorator is a part-time actor and so Marcia hires him to impersonate her husband when the wronged wife plans to spill the beans.
