Camera lights flashed in true Hollywood style while there was plenty of bling on show at the themed night.
Monnlight & Magnolias is based on the true story of the final re-write of the film 'Gone with the Wind', and there are plenty of laughs as three of Hollywood’s greats work their way through crazy scenarios, impending financial doom and a case of bananas, during a five-day writing storm.
The play takes place in the office of Hollywood movie mogul David O.Selznick (Simon Lovatt), who has called upon script writer Ben Hecht (Jesse Tankard) and the famous Hollywood director Victor Fleming (Sam Roberts) to help rewrite the script in five days.
Aided by efficient secretary, Miss Poppenguhl (Stephanie Gibbs) the team is persuaded to get to work as they variously act out key scenes from the film with such legendary characters such as Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler.
The Moonlight & Magnolias season, with cabaret table seating, runs for four more nights - Fridays and Saturdays September 4, 5, 11 and 12 in Twyford Hall Merimbula at 7.30pm. Book online at www.spectrumtheatregroup.com.au or call 0466 096 217.
