Wesley Ellul is one of a growing number of young or youngish actors venturing into the field of directing. After cutting his teeth a few years ago on the MADC One-Act-Play competition, in which he won the best director award, he now moves into directing a full-length production. Mr Ellul will direct Simon Mendes Da Costa's comedy Losing Louis, which plays at the MADC Clubrooms tonight, tomorrow and Sunday at 8 p.m.
This is a play about infidelity and death, which may not immediately herald an evening of untrammelled mirth. But we are assured that patrons are in for a splendid evening with lots of laughs.
The plot concerns the eponymous Louis, an adulterous solicitor, who is having it away with his young bit on the side: what he doesn't know until too late is that his son, Tony, is privy to their lovemaking. All this goes on in the late 1960s, so fast forward to the present day. Louis has died and his funeral is the catalyst for the family members, arriving for the ceremony, being obliged to face it out in the bedroom - the place where the illicit affair began and where the truth about each of them will finally be revealed.
Mr Ellul has managed to gather a strong cast around him, comprising Nanette Brimmer, Stephan Cachia Zammit, Jo Caruana, Jean Pierre Agius, Rachel Darmanin Demajo, Malcolm Galea and Ingrid Scerri.
Tickets at Lm 4 may be booked on email: bookings@madc.biz. More information from website: www.madc.biz
