Dangerous Obsession is an intense psychological thriller packed with secrets and lies that will have the audience hooked from the start.

Delivered by a small cast of just three, Dangerous Obsession is director Kaysia Dowie's directorial debut. Dowsie has been acting for many years at the theatre.

Some audience members may recognise playwright N.J. Crisp's name, as he wrote many 20^th century British television shows including Dr Finlay's Casebook.

In the play John Barrett (William Cesista), a strange, suited and well-spoken gentleman takes Sally Driscoll (Denni Mannile) by surprise as she relaxes in her luxurious home while her husband Mark (Thomas Henry) is away. Barrett is unexpected and uninvited. Who is he? Why is he here?

There is a mixture of evening and matinee performances.
