A funny mystery
Local actor David Quast will be on stage again next month in the Canadian premiere of The Game's Afoot, a comedy-mystery in the same vein as Agatha Christie or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, written by acclaimed American playwright Ken Ludwig, presented by White Rock's Peninsula Productions and directed by Wendy Bollard. Quast plays a "quirky Watson-like foil to the wanna-be Sherlock Holmes character," according to a press release.
