Shock! is set in the converted windmill home of air hostess Maggie, who invites Ann and Terry, her pilot and latest conquest, to celebrate her birthday.



When the guests arrive Maggie's not there and naturally enough the phone's been cut off. Maggie has been a voracious predator with a penchant for other people's partners so everyone has a motive for foul play. She has some peculiar tastes, including tape-recording the most private intimacies between herself and her lovers.

Maggie's indulgences soon cause consternation among the visitors including neighbours Jenny and Peter. This culminates in the death of Ann's fiancé. A second horrific climax causes Ann to become distraught when Jenny threatens Ann with extreme accusations.



Shock! was written by Brian Clemens in 1972. He was well known for his TV scripts including The Avengers and The Professionals. He died last year at the age of 83.

Award-winning director Fred Petersen is returning to the theatre with this shocking thriller. He found the script of Shock! while going through a box of old scripts backstage at Garrick. "It grabbed me from page one and at the conclusion I said, why has this not been done? Now with a great cast we hope to achieve the intrigue and emotion that Clemens intended."



Shock! runs from September 29th to the 15thof October at the Garrick Theatre, 100 Meadow Street, Guildford at 8:00pm
Matineés 2:00pm.

Tickets cost $20 (adults), concession $17 and children $15. To book call Elaine on 9378 1990 or email: [email protected]
