Stardust Melody

Synopsis:
Mary wakes in a stark room believing she has been kidnapped. She is joined by Tracy who is equally confused. With the arrival of Jack and his strange ideas the truth dawns on the three of them. a simple play which nevertheless makes serious demands on the three young actors. Her warning of impending disaster is sceptically ignored by a clergyman more apt to take moral affront from a scantily-clad dancing-girl and her smooth-tongued barker. escaping the heat and noisy bustle of the fairground the young couple seek the tranquillity of a nearby moonlit riverbank where, briefly, romance innocently blossoms before being crushed out by tragic violence. Whilst in the fairground life goes on.
