Melodrama The Mumberely Inheritance comes to OCPA The West End Studio Theatre is looking to engage audiences with its upcoming presentation of The Mumberley Inheritance. The melodrama by Warren Graves is set at Mumberley Manor in England during the early 1900s. It kicks off the second half of the theatre's 2014-15 Oakville Drama Series season. "This is a great show for children as there are elements of audience participation -- booing, hissing and cheering -- sure to entertain any age," stated a West End Studio Theatre release. Brother Jack is in Canada trying to nd the secret of the Mumberley fortune. His father's gambling debts are in the hands of villainous Marmaduke Mayhem, so what can poor daughter Daphne do but marry Mayhem, leaving Rodney Stoutheart and his stiff upper lip at the vestry door? Rodney disguises himself as Jack at the same moment that the real Jack actually returns. Thus, the villain's attempts to dispose of Jack invariably lead to unfortunate experiences for Rodney. All ends well once the villain has played his death scene -- with encores. The Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts, 130 Navy St., stages the show on Feb. 5-7 and Feb. 11-14 at 8 p.m., with a 2 p.m. matinee on Feb. 8.
