Mayhem Players Present Spectre At The FaustMayhem Players Present Spectre At The FaustThe setting is a poor representation of the Administrator's Office in the Paris Opera House circa 1927. Minimal set as usual for the Mayhem Players. The rear wall needs to be split in two, with one part set slightly down stage, to allow the Spectre to appear and disappear, apparently through a badly painted portrait.
The 'plot' is based, very loosely, on the Phantom of the Opera story. The cast includes
one who has come very late to the production and still needs the script,
dreadful French accents, and an actress with long legs - who wants everyone to see them !
Throughout it is played with utter sincerity, even if the cast and props are rarely in the right place.
