State Theatre Company South Australia will end the year on a high with an extended season of the comedy smash Ripcord, starring Australian stage legend Nancye Hayes and Adelaide’s favourite leading man, Nathan Page (Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries and The 39 Steps) under the direction of Artistic Director Mitchell Butel.
Following the sell-out success of Gaslight, Ripcord’s season will now run from Nov 13 to Dec 5 at the Dunstan Playhouse to accommodate the 50 per cent venue capacity.
Hayes, whose acclaimed career on the stage spans 60 years and last appeared on the STCSA stage in The Importance of Being Earnest, will be joined by an all-star Adelaide cast including Page, Carmel Johnson (Central Park West), Chris Asimos (A View from the Bridge), Ezra Juanta (Rumpelstiltskin) and Jennifer Innes, who will make her State Theatre Company South Australia stage debut.
Straight from her glorious set design on Gaslight, Ailsa Paterson returns to transform the Playhouse with lighting by Gavin Norris (The 39 Steps, The Gods Of Strangers) and costume design by Enken Hagge (A View from the Bridge).
