Musical Marks Society's 100th Birthday

The University Dramatic Society, based at the University of Western Australia has now been running for 100 years. Entirely run by young people pursuing their creative talents along with a busy student life, the original musical 'Hotel Halicarno' will be the first production in the society's Centenary Year.

The Halicarno Hotel is its own microcosm, distinctly detached from the outside world that we know. This wallpaper-clad lodge that time forgot is home to many strange folks, be they staff or guests, but the relative tranquility of the Halicarno is thrown out the window upon the sacking of manager Vincent Wesley. Tasked with finding a replacement, Wesley assesses the validity of two candidates: Alice Chapel, a woman with good intentions, but a bad temper and Marseille Ridley, a self-professed Machiavellian who will harm even the cutest of bellboys in his pursuit of power. Both candidates are in for a shock when Vincent reveals his pièce de resistance and in their pursuit of power, the three of them seek to expose the darkness that lies in their adversary's lives.

With book and lyrics by Harry Goodlet and Matthew Nixon, directed by Lucy Rossen, and music by Isaac Reynolds and Brock Stannard-Brown, this musical is not to be missed. It will be performed in UWA's Dolphin Theatre at 7.30pm on May 10th to 13th and tickets can be purchased from http://ticketswa.com/event/hotel-halicarno.
