Three in the Back, Two in the Head

9 Jul 2009 - 25 Jul 2009

OPENING NIGHT FOR MEDIA SATURDAY JULY 11

There are times when, for the good of the greater number, an individual must be sacrificed.  Donald Jackson, a weapons scientist for America's  defence programme, is found dead outside a church. No witnesses, no motive. When his son attempts to piece together the truth behind his father's death he is embroiled in  a world of double agents, rogue states and global paranoia.  Inspired by the real life murder of the Canadian weapons scientist Gerald Bull, Three in the Back, Two in the Head graples with the elusive nature of truth as the action shifts across conflicting versions of the past. Was Jackson a force for peace betrayed by merciless politicans? Or was he about to give America's greatest enemy the missile that could destory it?

Arabian Night

31 Jul 2009 - 15 Aug 2009

OPENING NIGHT FOR MEDIA IS SATURDAY AUGUST 1ST
Free tix night for Health Care Card Holders Friday July 31st

Arabian Night, by the celebrated German playwright Roland Schimmelpfennig, revolves around five characters who share an apartment on the seventh floor of one of the many claustrophobic tower block apartments in Berlin. Each character has another ‘life’ loosely related to the world of Arabian Nights where his or her various desires and fears are given form and acted out. In a complicated ‘dance’ that takes place during one evening on the hottest night of the year, the five interact both in the real and in the imaginary world with the boundaries becoming increasingly blurred between the two, resulting in a rich theatrical texture. It is a fusion of observation and action which is dynamic, startling and deeply absorbing. As if from a strange dream, the play leaves us waking up without a clear resolution or rational explanation. Arabian Night is the kind of play that lives by working on the imagination of the audience.

“This piece is like a poem. A kinky, sexy, comic, sad, ode to longing and love and desire.” (Australian Stage Online 2008)

About the Bakehouse Theatre

The Bakehouse from Cardwell St

The Bakehouse is a charming, intimate live theatre at the east end of Angas Street, just a minute's walk away from the popular restaurant strip in Hutt St. You may rely on encountering a warm, welcoming atmosphere where there is no need to dress up, where you may often run into someone you know and where you can take your drinks into the theatre with you. We have two theatre spaces - the main theatre, and the newly opened studio theatre which hosts a number of shows on as part of the Adelaide Fringe right now.
