The One Show You Shouldn’t Miss

It is official that women are tired the cheating and hurting ways of men.

The Play Three fold cord by Scott Marshall could not possibly have come at a better time.

 The beautifully crafted masterpiece looks at the lives of three women who are caught in the web of Marcus who is well respected and senior lawyer in criminal and high profile cases.

What really stands out about this intriguing drama is how the three different women perceive Marcus and the disparities in each of their characters.

Victoria his wife is an accomplished actress from a wealthy background. She is self indulgent, wary and we are almost tempted to think she is unaware of Marcus’ indiscretions. But we find out there is more than meets the eye about Victoria.

Millicent on the hand losses her husband  - Marcus’ best friend.  She is taken in by the allure of passion and chemistry that had been missing in her marriage.  Of the three she is rather naive, and takes into Marcus’ every whim, believing that they are madly in love and were meant to be by the good heavens. She is convinced that Marcus is with her because his self obsessed wife is not catering to his needs.

Dexie is a commercial sex worker who falls for the money and promise of a good life that Marcus is all too willing to provide. But she breaks the first rule she was taught about the streets and falls in love with the man. His extravagance, craziness and the ability to let loose and live life like there is no tomorrow. She bears him a son and the happenings thereafter are better watched on stage than told.

This is a Show for every Man and Woman out there. It will give everyone a chance to reflect on our own lives and our own little “things” on the side.

In my mind, Scott Marshall wrote this play to simply tell us that everything we do in life, every move we make and every social encounter we come across; they all have an impact on other people and the world at large.

Three Fold Cord Opens On Friday July 6^th to July 21^st at the Phoenix theatre. This is one show you don’t want to miss.
