Mary Steenburgen gives an arresting performance as an actress-in-distress in an isolated country estate. She has been called there by psychiatrist/now-turned film producer Roddy McDowall to "double" for an actress who has suffered a complete nervous breakdown during production of a film. Arriving during a violent snowstorm, she undergoes a complete makeover until she--almost uncannily--resembles the ill actress. But, she will discover that her real role is not to act in a film but to act as the real-life double of the actually quite-dead actress in a ruthless blackmailing scheme. When she attempts to escape, she will find herself under the tender psychiatric care of the murderous McDowall. The suspense-inducing direction is by Arthur Penn.

Opera's North enchanting staging of The Adventures of Pinocchio, Johnathan Dove's 21st opera, is a wittingly inventive feast for the eyes and ears. A full-length, through-composed grand opera with 29 characters, a sizeable chorus and a profound symphonic score, it is overflowing with visual delights, and children will love it! A sublime achievement by Martin Duncan and team, this production shines a bright new light on Collodi's dream-like original story, full of charm, darkness and magic. The superb ensemble stars Victoria Simmonds in the title role, and the orchestra and chorus respond splendidly under David Parry's vibrant baton.
