Recuerdos - Memories of Spain

18th @ 6pm; 19th @ 4pm

Souvenirs gathered from a journey through Andalucia remind us of long days filled with languid guitar and nights of percussive rhythm. Flamenco musicians and dancers conjure memories of the Rio Guadalquivir, from the region of Cadiz to the gypsy quarter of Triana. “Highly entertaining, the artistry and technique of the musicians and dancers was inspiring. The evening had a wonderful dynamic range that kept me entranced right to the end. The footwork was amazing. I left the show thinking, “I want to do Flamenco now!” (Dance Informa magazine)

Arthur Hardy:
The Forgotten Hero of the Hills

19th & 26th @ 6pm
20th @ 2pm; 24th @ 7:30pm

The name of Arthur Hardy is probably best known today as the original owner and creator of Mount Lofty House. But Hardy's impact on our city, then and still continuing now, as one of its first settlers is less well known. In many ways he was the glue that held the colony together in its first 50 years. This new play from Peter Maddern tells us Arthur Hardy's story including when the city's elite shamefully turned its back on him. Starring David Cronin, Charles Herkes, and Julie Wilkins.

The Runner Up

19th & 26th @ 7:30pm
27th @ 4pm

It’s another dud gig for 80s one-hit wonder Cyn and her band the Cynthetics – in a town so far off their radar they can’t even remember its name. But could a chance meeting at a bar turn Cyn's 35 years of bad luck around?

Part Spinal Tap and part anti-heroine's journey, The Runner Up is a substance-soaked black comedy about a fabulous loser’s courage to pursue a cause – lost long ago. 

With hits from legendary 80s and 90s rock chicks performed live by some of Adelaide’s hottest musicians,  eye-wateringly shocking costumes and a magnificent punch line, this theatre-cabaret, rock hybrid dares to dream even harder than any TV talent-show contestant could.
A rock'n'roll comedy about a fabulous loser. IT'S A LONG WAY TO THE TOP!
​
★★★★ ​"Leave the kids at home and chuck on your leather jacket for a night to remember!" - The Upside News.

​The Runner Up features Louise McCabe as Cyndy, with Adelaide musicians Pearl Tizzle, Jai Caferella and Dylan Warren, and comedian James Vine.
