A Cheery Soul, a dark comedy by Patrick White, will be presented by Holden Street Theatres from September 24 to October 12, 2024, under the direction of Peter Goers. The story revolves around Miss Docker, portrayed by Martha Lott, who embodies the complexities of suburban life with her seemingly benevolent yet destructive nature. The play delves into themes of nostalgia and the chaos lurking beneath the surface of a seemingly idyllic community in 1959 Sarsaparilla, Australia. The production showcases a talented ensemble cast, including David Arcidiaco, Catherine Campbell, and Christopher Cordeaux.
