It will be the first show for the season that celebrates MITS’ 60th year as part of the Mount Isa community.
“We are recreating shows iconic to the decades that MITS has been active in Mount Isa,” MITS president Jenelle Robartson said.
“Not Now Darling is a 1960’s comedy first performed by MITS in 1972.
“We are hoping to recreate the original feel of the show and we hope our audience might join in the fun. It would be great to see some ’60s icons like JFK and Audrey in the audience.”
Not Now Darling is a madcap British farce about mistresses and minks in the London fur salon of Bodley, Bodley, and Crouch.
Gilbert Bodley (Damian Sacco) plans to sell an expensive mink to a mobster Harry McMicheal (Gary Knight) dirt cheap as a gift for his wife (because the wife is Gilbert’s mistress and he wants to close the deal).
However, instead of doing his own dirty work, he gets his reluctant partner, Arnold Crouch (Grant Szabadics), to do it for him.
Things go awry when the mobster plans to buy it for his own mistress and soon the whole plan goes out the window along with women’s clothing and a few other things.
The show starts on Friday 6 at the MITS Theatre on Transmission Street.
Tickets are $40 single, $35 for groups of 8+, which includes a two-course meal and are available at Spice Connections on West Street. Not Now Darling runs Friday and Saturday nights until March 28.
