Most people tend to be charitable when they see a real need in the community, and this is what motivates socialite Mrs Smith-Jones to organise a gala dinner to raise funds for a very worthy cause.
Unfortunately, a few unscrupulous characters have managed to wrangle their way onto the guest list, in varied guises.
And so, the scene is set for 'Poisonous Prawns', the newest production from the Manning Valley Choral Society (MVCS).
This melodramatic radio play leads the audience through twists and turns in the plot, accompanied by memorable musical numbers and choral arrangements, which climax with surprising revelations.
It has been created by prolific author and life member, Geraldine Mullin, who is also the director of this year's production.
Following in the wake of 'Movie Song Cruise' 2017, the MVCS invites anyone who enjoys a laugh, a good song and a witty script to witness the best and worst in characters, as good does its best to triumph over evil in 'Poisonous Prawns'.
Two performances only.
The first is at the Manning Entertainment Centre on Saturday September 28th, at 2pm, $20 per ticket, available at the MEC, online or at the door.
The second performance is at the Tuncurry Beach Bowling Club, on Sunday September 29 at 2pm, $15 per ticket, available at the door.
