OutFox to Bring THE BAD SEED to Brockley Jack Studio Theatre

OutFox Productions presents The Bad Seed by Maxwell Anderson, directed by John Fricker, running Tuesday 14 March to Saturday 1 April 2017 at Brockley Jack Studio Theatre. Press Night is set for Thursday 16 March at 7.45pm.

Christine Penmark has it all. A loving husband. A beautiful home. The perfect daughter.

But when tragedy strikes on Rhoda's school trip, and a classmate is discovered drowned, Christine is forced to confront the growing number of "accidents" that happen when her daughter is around.

Obedient, charming and intelligent beyond her years, Rhoda is a parent's dream child. But what if underneath the sweet exterior beats the heart of a cold-blooded sociopath?

Regarded as one of Broadway's outstanding and chilling hits, OutFox Productions present Pulitzer Prize winner Maxwell Anderson's play, adapted from the critically acclaimed novel by William March.

The Bad Seed is revived by OutFox, whose previous work at the Jack includes Frank Wedekind's Spring Awakening, PatRick Hamilton's Rope and Sarah Daniel's The Gut Girls.

American playwright, screen writer and lyricist Maxwell Anderson (1888 - 1959) is known for films such as Joan of Arc starring Ingrid Bergman and Key Largo starring Humphry Bogart. Anderson won the Pulitzer Prize for 1933's Both Your Houses, and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for the highly successful and acclaimed contemporary tragedy Winterset, based on the Sacco and Vanzetti trial. He repeated the latter feat in 1936 with High Tor. He adapted the novel The Bad Seed almost immediately after its publication. Opening on the 8th December 1954, The Bad Seed ran for 332 performances on Broadway. During this time actress Nancy Kelly playing the role of Christine won the 1955 Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play. The play's success was repeated in London opening at the Aldwych Theatre on April 14th 1955 running for 195 performances.

OutFox Productions was founded by Kirsty Fox and John Fricker, late 2011. The company endeavor to chase down stories that ignite a passion for all involved. The Bad Seed marks OutFox's seventh production as a company and sixth as The Jack Studio Theatre's Associate Company.
