Wilson, one of CDS's most ardent supporters, is no newcomer to writing for theatre. For Pirates Week last year, he wrote "Trial of the Pirates," in addition, he adapted Lewis Carrol's "Alice in Wonderland," which, under Wilson's direction became "Alice Queen of Wonderland" for the CDS, which was one of the most successful presentations of the season.
"Girl in a Wheelchair" is classic theatre, a thriller guaranteed to keep the audience on the edge of their seats throughout this gripping tale of treachery and deceit. The script, which Wilson wrote last year, is tight and fast-paced and there is a twist in the tale that the grandmaster of surprise, Alfred Hitchcock, would be proud of. The cast stars Gwen Diaz as the Girl in the wheelchair, with. Colin Wilson, Deborah Walker, Rhona Howells, Graham Howells, Lisa Merren, Leroy Holness, Stuart Hurst, and Kingsley Donalds.
Opening night, May 20, will be a Champagne Reception with proceeds going towards a CDS Scholarship to send a Caymanian to drama school in the United States. "Girl in a Wheelchair" will run from 20-23 and 27-30 May.
