The play is directed by Zane E. Lucas, whose last production, “Boeing Boeing”, was a major hit, while the production stars Erin Cooper, Chloe Cattin, Shane Stockil and Joakim Daun.

“Neil Simon is known all over the world for his rib-tickling comedies and this play proves his versatility beyond doubt.”
Chapter Two has a preview night tomorrow, when pensioners are free and all other patrons half-price. It opens its run on Thursday and finishes on Saturday April 7, with performances most evenings at 7pm and a matinee performance at 2.30pm on Saturday March      24.
