World premiere of John F. Kennedy play at Roleystone Theatre



POLITICAL intrigue comes to the fore at Roleystone Theatre this September 
with the world premiere of a play about Lee Harvey Oswald, John F. Kennedy's 
assassin.



Written and directed by Paul Abbott, One Weekend in Dallas focuses on Oswald's 
brief time in custody on November 22, 1963, before he was shot and denied a 
trial.



Abbott says little is known about what went on behind the closed doors of 
Dallas authorities after Oswald was presumed guilty of Kennedy's murder.



"Basing the play on real-life events, and setting it between the bookends of 
JFK's assassination and Oswald's eventual killing, I felt great freedom in 
exploring every character while trying to portray them as accurately as 
possible," he said.



One Weekend In Dallas plays at 8pm, September 10, 11, 17 and 18 with a 6pm 
matinee on September 12. Tickets are $15 adults, $12 children - book on 9397 
5730, tickets@roleystonetheatre.com.au or through BOCS on 9484 1133.



Roleystone Theatre is located at 587 Brookton Highway, Roleystone, opposite 
the Croyden Road junction. More information is also available at 
www.roleystonetheatre.com.au.
