Curtains go down on 'Love Games' Dec 9

The immensely popular comedy revue Love Games takes its final curtain call this Sunday, December 9, after completing over 100 performances.

The production has played to enthusiastic audiences at its home base at Centerstage Theatre, as well as select venues across rural Jamaica. Critics and audiences, alike, have given the play the thumbs-up as an excellent piece of theatrical entertainment, with some members of the public making multiple trips to soak up the fun and laughter.

Penned by Patrick Brown, widely regarded as Jamaica's number one scribe of comedic works over the last 10 years, Love Games looked at the various "games" played by lovers. The writer approached the theme from many different angles, all the time in a comedic way, but at times demonstrating the serious consequences which could result from one's actions.

Final Game

One such 'lesson' is demonstrated in Final Game - the final of six playlets in Love Games. John (Glen Campbell) picks up a sexy female (Jane, played by Camille Davis) at his aunt's funeral at the Dovecot Memorial Park. They immediately hit it off and head off for a tryst at a nearby hotel. The evening is going pretty much to script for John, until he receives the surprise of his life, and learns that picking up strange women has its consequences.

Another outstanding feature of Love Games is the surprise element, in which the audience is taken completely off-guard as they experience an unusual theatrical spectacle, which hardly happens in local theatre.

Love Games features a young, talented and exciting cast of actors, led by Glen 'Titus' Campbell, one of Jamaica's best-known comedic actors. Also appearing is Camille Davis, Courtney Wilson, Noelle Kerr and Lakeisha Ellison.
