Having recently moved to rural Tasmania I have quickly
learned that one must make one’s own entertainment. There are few cultural
outlets in these small towns. Not even a cinema. So culture is mainly confined to
the library and the video shop.
Country people are therefore forced to rely on their own
efforts, as we do not get the pleasure of, for example, the TSO or Bell Shakespeare
Company coming to our little towns. Into the breach steps our own Sorell On
Stage (SOS) theatre group. This is a lively group of enthusiastic amateur
thespians. Being, as my wife reminds me, an art snob, this is not the sort of
theatre I would produce, if given the chance. But I am only too happy to
support them. To this end I went along to their most recent production Murder in Casablanca.
