The plot twists and turns in this clever and exciting thriller. When Sam Henderson helps a stranger by carrying a doll through an airport, he sets off a chain of events that will lead to a terrifying ordeal for his wife, Susy, who has recently lost her sight in an accident. A criminal gang set out to infiltrate their home and retrieve what they believe is a very valuable prize.
The play is set in London and has a cast of six men and two women, of a range of ages. Please also come along or let us know if you are interested in working backstage in any capacity.

Previous Shows
Southbank Players have been operating in the current premises since 1999. Before that we were two separate but closely linked groups - Trident and Osborne Players - both long standing companies with a wide range of experience and an interest in producing challenging drama of a high quality. We've made a list of our previous productions available.
Come Visit
Southbank Playhouse is on Kimberly Drive, just off Sunnyside Street/Ormeau Road. Our building was originally a scout hall and over the past fifteen years we've made a number of improvements to the premises, including the installation oflighting and sound systems, central heating, retractable seating bank, and a refurbished kitchen.
