Romantic comedy at Hall

RUN For Yuh Wife, Weekend Sex, Weekend Comedy, Mary Could Dance, now comes the hilarious wild romantic comedy, It Had To Be You. Just when you thought it was going to be another ordinary Christmas, along comes this lonely woman who is insistent that she will have a man in time for the holidays, even if she has to keep him prisoner!

Eric touches on the supernatural

Political intrigue. Calypso bachannal. A touch of the supernatural. Eric Barry plans to unleash The Catalyst upon an unsuspecting Trinidadian audience. This is the first full length play from the multi-talented actor, writer and former drama tutor. It is being produced by Tete-a-Tete Theatre, a drama company part owned by Barry. He is part of the Trinidad and Tobago drama contingent performing at Carifesta VIII in Suriname from August 25 to 30. But foremost in his mind is the release of his major production in October. The Catalyst will be the culmination of 12 years of perseverance and 16 years of life in the local theatre.

Glenn Davis OUTSTANDING
