Something Fishy is a comedy thriller which
is played with enormous gusto by Liz Hague as Daisy and Kate Mooney
as Petunia. The play opens with the two girls, upper class and naïve,
arriving by chance in the coastal village of Beever when their boat
is washed up after a storm.
They decide to stay and they meet up with
all manner of weird characters also played by Liz Hague and Kate
Mooney cleverly moving from character to character. However, there
is something strange about this village. No fish dishes appear on
any menu and where are the children? In
between times Petunia falls for Nobby a local fisherman who has
given up the sea and, although he in return has fallen for Petunia,
he urges the girls to leave the village immediately for they are in
danger.
Finding their boat has been vandalised, the
girls decide to stay and solve what has happened to the children.
Without giving the ending away, they solve the riddle but at what
cost.
This is a rollicking, tongue in cheek yarn
and great fun.
