Which Way Is Out?, the latest play by Basil Dawkins, reopens with two performances tomorrow, following a botched opening on Saturday.

Tomorrow's shows are at 5:30 and 8:30 p.m. at The Little Little Theatre.

Shows are also scheduled to run Tuesdays to Fridays at 8:30 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays, at 5:30 and 8:30 p.m.

Which Way Is Out? had a weak opening following telephone problems at the box office, which hampered bookings.

"Operating a box office without a telephone is like trying to drive a vehicle without a steering wheel," said Dawkins.

"It will be difficult to recover but we won't give up. The play is a wonderful play. Everyone, from actors, director, suppliers and designers have gone out of their way to make sure those who do see Which Way Is Out? will be satisfied beyond their expectations."

There is now a functioning telephone line at the ticket office (906-0003) and there is also an emergency cellular number (805-4847).

Dawkins said the producer, actors and crew apologised profusely for the disappointment.

The play is written and produced by Dawkins, directed by Douglas Prout and stars Ruth Hoshing, Sakina, Maylynne Walton, Donald 'Ice Man' Anderson, Jerry Benzwick and Jean- Paul Menou.
