Blackwood Players Inc. to Present LOVE RIDES THE RAILS, 11/15-30

Blackwood Players Inc will be performing Morland Cary's classic melodrama "Love Rides The Rails" or "Will The Mail Train Run Tonight?" at the Blackwood Memorial Hall.

Come prepared to 'boo' the Villan, 'cheer' the Hero and 'sigh' with the Heroine as Blackwood Players take you to the rail road in this production suitable all ages.

The play will be performed on Friday 15th, 22nd, 29th November and Saturdays 16th, 23rd and 30th at 8pm. A special Sunday twilight performance will be held at 4pm on the 24th November. All performances will be at the Blackwood Memorial Hall, 21 Coromandel Parade Blackwood.

Simon Darkway seeks to control for his own vile purposes the Blackwood, Belair & Bridgewater R.R. Opposing him are the gallant Truman Pendennis, the beauteous Prudance Hopewell, the Widow Hopewell, and staunch Harold Standfast. Assisting him are Dirk Sneath, a viper of a man, and Carlotta Cortez, the sultry siren with a heart of gold.

Swiftly and hilariously the plot unfolds, leading to a tremendous climax when the hero is bound by the villains to the tracks in the path of an on-rushing train; but the heroine arrives in the nick of time. She stops the train and virtue stands triumphant while the evil-doers get their just deserts. The final scene closes in a blaze of glory as Prudence, flagging the onrushing train with her hastily discarded red skirt, bravely shouts: "Shall prudish modesty send those men to their death? No, no, a thousand times No."
