In Havant on Wednesday, The Bench Theatre are putting on a selection of short plays. four each night to be exact. I'm performing in a piece called 'Girl In The Corner.' and i have to admit, it's a great little play.
We've been rehearsing for a few weeks now, mainly in a little room about 8 by 10. and even though i know how the story goes, it still manages to create a chill up my spine.
Basically, the story follows a girl called Rebecca who has been wrongly sent to an asylum in the 1800's. Her father has had her put there to cover his tracks and the doctors play along with his demands in fear of losing their jobs.
Rebecca is trapped with no one until she meets Kitty (onstage comes me) and the two soon becomes friends. but life in the institution is harsh and following an attack from a staff member, Rebecca starts to think the worse.
But the worst is yet to come when she realises that her only friend kitty is infact a ghost. as Rebecca tells the doctors of her spirit friend, they decide to labotomise her to erase all memory of Kitty, and erase any memory at all.
Rebecca gets desperate as she begins to see a girl sitting in the corner in her dreams. the girl frightenes Rebecca and makes it harder and harder for her to stay sane. So Kitty's spirit helps Rebecca to get out of the asylum the only way she can, to end her life.
only it doesn't turn out right. there's no happy place for Rebecca to go to, she ends up back in the same room and finds the same girl in the corner. the girl explains to rebecca that she was also fooled, all the women who died withing the walls of the asylum were fooled into ending their lifves by the girl who said she would help.
"she takes them you see, so they can be with her here forever"
Charley's a nasty Ghosty!
