Scenes for William Walsh and Peter Tedeschi are acted on an unfinished cardboard set during earlier rehearsals. oo Ten Murders for The Price of One Ten guests invited to a lonely island mansion, each under mysterious circumstances. Ten statuettes on the mantlepiece, each carved in the likeness of a guest. Ten people murdered, one by one, each according to a nursery rhyme. “Ten Little Indians,” a mystery by Agatha Christie. Whodunit? Mr. Alan Ksen. No, he’s not the murderer, he’s the director! There’s a subtle difference; a murderer destroys life, while a director creates life on the stage. “Ten Little Indians” was a landmark production, Mr. Ksen’s first, and Feehan’s first straight drama presented to the public. Rehearsals and set construction spanned almost two months. Cast members practiced late into the night; many sacrificed hours building the elaborate set, finishing it, and supplying props. As weeks dwindled to days before opening night, the pace became frantic. “Ten Little Indians” had become an all-consuming endeavor for those involved. Tension mounted and tempers shortened. Many students sought extensions for their schoolwork and activity deadlines. Parents found themselves distraught over the production. Opening night, anxious faces peered from behind set pieces and wall hangings. First glances were disappointing, yet, within moments, more than 150 patrons were seated. Cast members gathered in the girls’ dressing room where warm words, smiles and hugs were exchanged. How far they had come; enthusiasm followed apprehension after auditions, until cast lists were posted. Then came months of hard work which brought everyone close together. The dozen people on stage represented a huge family of actors, makeup artists, lighting technicians, a set construction crew, costume and prop people with many Jacks-of-all-trades. Now that the preparation was complete, here was the enthusiasm and apprehension all over again. In the scenes which followed, arrival at the island, the presence of the voice, first murders, a violent storm, mounting suspicion and suspense to the revelation of the killer, it was evident that the theatre will not be the same. Break a leg! Five Little Indians, Ingrid Meszoely, Yvonne Gunning, John Motyl, Paul Amirault and Peter Tedeschi, overshadowed by likenesses on the mantlepiece, await their fate with suspicion of each other. Justice prevails as the unlikely murderer, Judge Wargrave, Paul Amirault, is led away by Officer Peter Blais in the final scene of Ten Little Indians.
