New season starts for Little Theatre

Woy Woy Little Theatre is preparing for the first performance of the season in Wrong Turn at Lungfish written by Garry Marshall and Lowell Ganz.

Directed by Peninsula resident Barbara Hickey, the performance is a Pygmalion-like story set in a hospital room.

"Peter Ravenswaal, a blind college dean whose only source of enjoyment comes from tormenting his beleaguered nurse until his encounter with a fiesty, street wise young woman who volunteers to read to him in hospital," Ms Hickey said.

"The older more educated professor tries to teach the sexy and manipulative Anita Merendino some life lessons but ends up learning from her as well.

"In this poignant comedy, our intellectual odd couple soon finds that within each other lies the missing link in their own personal evolution.

"There are philosophical discussions about the meaning of life and death as well as uproariously humorous scenes.

"Writers Garry Marshall and Lowell Ganz are best known for their work on the US sitcoms Happy Days, Laverne and Shirley, The Odd Couple, The Lucy Show and many more."

Wrong Turn at Lungfish will be performed at The Peninsula Theatre in Woy Woy from February 12 to 28.

Performance date and times include Fridays from 8pm, Saturdays from 8pm and Sundays from 2pm.

An afternoon performance will also be held on Saturday, February 27, from 2pm.

Tickets start from $20 for concession and $23 for adults.

Tickets can be purchased at the box office or on 4344 4737 from Monday, February 1, between 10am and 2pm, Monday to Friday.

The play contains some sexual references and some coarse language and is not suitable for children.
