Amelia Community Theatre presents 'Coming Apart'

Coming Apart examines the circumstances of marriage and divorce. Told partly in flash-back, it is the story of Frances Kate Harris) and Colin Kittridge (Richard Sheffler).

She is a successful author of bodice-ripper romantic novels, he a syndicated columnist with a penchant for humorous anecdotes. Married for over twenty years, they both announce that they want a divorce!

We share the story of their meeting, courtship and marriage with contributions from, Sylvia Mallinson (Sinda Nichols) who is literary agent for both Frances and Colin; and Bert Stockton (Gill Johnston), a long-time friend of the couple and Colin’s drinking pal and confidant.

The play is set in New York and the action is brisk. Anyone who remembers hearing Maurice Chevalier sing the song, "I remember it well," from the musical, Gigi, will immediately feel at home with much of the dialogue!

Coming Apart will play 20, 21, 22, 28, 29 and December 3, 4, 5, 6, 2008. It is directed by Geoffrey King with producer Karen Harper and stage manager Jennifer Webber.
