A wait Stormy Weather! An enigmatic murder thriller presented by
Centre Stage Productions, is set to take Colombo by storm from September
10 to 13 at the Punchi Theatre.
 The play is written and directed by the renowned dramatist Jehan
Aloysius, and features both live action as well as filmed scenes. In
order to make it a stunning visual creation, the production will be
presented as a black and white movie, set in the late 1940s’ world of
film noir.
The plot revolves around the shocking murder of Noel Richards and the
subsequent investigation by a rather unorthodox and nameless inspector.
 The overall mood, production design and acting style of the
production is inspired by the film noir or ‘dark cinema’ thrillers of
the 1940s and 1950s, as the original play was written to a non-linier
cinematic narrative style. Thus, Stormy Weather is bound to be a bold
and unique theatre experience for those who enjoy cutting-edge theatre.
The experienced cast includes English theatre personalities such as
Shanuki De Alwis, Dilrukshi Fonseka, Michelle Herft, Mario De Soyza,
Amesh De Silva and Zahabiya Adamaly.

the official production house handling the filming. Channel 1 MTV and
YES FM are the electronic media partners.So prepare yourself for Stormy
Weather from the September 10 - 13 at the Namel Malini Punchi Theatre.
