WORLD PREMIERE OF NEW
PLAY COMES TO GLENBROOK
CASSIDY PEARCE
From Friday, May 24,
Glenbrook Players
will be presenting
the world premiere of local
playwright Mitchell Rist’s
new play, ‘Sherlock Holmes
and the Call of Cthulhu’,
and it’s a must-see for all
theatre lovers.
The new show pays
homage to two of Rist’s
favourite authors, recreating
the dark world of H.P. Lovecraft’s
novella, ‘The Call of
Cthulhu’, and infusing the
much-loved characters from
Conan Doyle’s Sherlock
Holmes mystery.
‘Sherlock Holmes and the
Call of Cthulhu’, begins
with famous archaeologist
George Gammell, portrayed
by Stephen Wray, falling
dead at the hands of a mysterious,
robed figure.
After the horrified Dr
John Watson and Sherlock
Holmes come to his aid,
they are forced to unravel a
mystery like never before,
navigating twists and turns,
smoke-screens, obfuscation,
delusions and lies, and
obscure dark conspiracies
and secret cults that worship
an ancient octopus-like
deity.
Watson and Holmes will
be portrayed by Joshua
Stojanovic and Alexander
Smith respectively, with
support from a host of
talented local artists.
If you want to support local
theatre, this is the perfect
chance to do so.
Glenbrook Players’
‘Sherlock Holmes and the
Call of Cthulhu’ will be on
at Glenbrook Cinema on
multiple days from Friday,
May 24 to Saturday, June 1.
