The South Australian premiere of William Goldman's stage adaptation of his own screenplay based on Stephen King's iconic psychological horror thriller. Jaded author Paul Sheldon is looking forward to being finally rid of the long-running series of historical romances that earned him fame and fortune, when a car accident in a snowstorm leaves him helpless in the middle of nowhere. 
He regains consciousness to find himself terribly injured and in the home of Annie Wilkes, a stranger who came upon the accident scene and is thrilled to be the saviour of the author of her favourite book series. It doesn't take long for Paul to realise that Annie is more than just excitable and eccentric, and that he could be in very real danger isolated and alone, with his life in the hands of his "number one fan".

MGTS Annual Performance

​Saturday November 23rd

Join the Mighty Good Students as they celebrate the music and fun of the 50’s and 60’s, that made their grandparents rock to the music.

The Deep Blue Sea
Independent Theatre 
November 29th - December 7th

Hester Collyer, the wife of a High Court judge, has run away from her husband, and been living with an ex-World War 2 and Battle of Britain fighter pilot.  The play opens with her being found, after having tried, unsuccessfully, to gas herself, and follows her through the day, as she, and the various people in her life, attempt to pick up the pieces.  It is a powerful account of lives blighted by love - or the lack of it.
​
First produced in 1952, when Rattigan was at the height of his powers, “The Deep Blue Sea” is considered to be his best play.  In recent years, Rattigan has been “rediscovered”, and recognised for the great playwright that he is.  The 2016 National Theatre revival starred Helen McCrory.
