The Butcher, The Baker

5 - 15 FEBRUARY | EXPLOSIVES FACTORY
The Butcher, The Baker
About

You want to be a butcher?  You’ve got to love a butcher.


The Butcher, The Baker…project was originally inspired by my experiences of living with a group of women on Amazon Acres deep in the New South Wales bush in the 1970’s “No men, no meat, no machines”.


A tale with a twist, The Butcher, The Baker…is a story of a woman who in an effort to probe the mystery of a man she is obsessed with but cannot get close to disguises herself as a male. But the plan misfires and she is left with more than a sting in her tail!!!

“ Cabaret at its best! ”Jonathan Marshall, Inpress


“ Fantastically haunting cabaret music of the Weimar period…. Keen powers of observations… seething, seamy eroticism. ”Geoffrey Milne, ABC Radio


“ The songs are the stand-out element, the music has an urgency to it that is alluring and the lyrics are rich in imagery ”Fiona Scott-Norman, The Age


“ A deft mixture: poetic monologue, some excellent dialogue and nifty, moody songs…well-structured and crafted and always with a wacky European edge to its delivery ”Steven Carroll, The Age
