Double Diagnosis

It’s Halloween night; a young woman arrives at the home of Dr & Mrs Prothero. Dressed in a muddy man’s suit, she seems to be suffering from total amnesia. 

Marjorie, who has lost a daughter, immediately ‘adopts’ her as her own. Jack is not convinced the girl’s‘amnesia’ is genuine. 

A TV newsflash of an attack (which becomes a murder) in a nearby flat, from which a girl is missing, alarms Jack. He wants to call the police. Marjorie protects the girl and confrontation results.

Their psychiatrist son, Graham, reveals the girl is a mentally disturbed patient and the plot thickens, leading to an unexpected ending when DI McGrath appears on the scene.

The play will be directed by professional actress, Alice Dale and all parts offer a challenging experience.

Two parts are still available, The Girl and DI McGrath.  Auditions for these parts will be held at KADS, Kalamunda.
