Don’t start what you can’t Finnish…

 

Nobody knows who killed Marzipan Raikkonen. Little Sara who found his body doesn’t know.  The ambulance drivers are none the wiser, the crooked cop’s not sure, the horny priest can’t crack it, and the dodgy Russian doesn’t want a bar of it.  So why is the cat looking so smug?

 

Welcome to the Arctic Circle, to the Finnish city of Rovaniemi where the housewives are scarier than the criminals, a place where the Farce and the Furious meet – an absurd journey into the Nordic psyche.

A LIFE IN THE THEATRE

By David Mamet

Tickets $22 adults/ $18 concession & subscribers

Phone Bookings Only

  

A Life in the Theatre is a funny and poignant portrayal of the dramatic worlds onstage and the realities behind the curtain.

 

Mamet’s ‘sardonic love letter to the theatre’ explores the uneasy passing of the theatrical torch from one generation to the next.

 

Ruth and Josie’s colourful world comes to life on stage, but behind the laughs exists the actor’s battle between competition and camaraderie.

 

Originally written for two males, Mamet’s world-renowned story is transformed - A World Premiere!

 

“... conveys the joyous melancholy of the actor's life - an abundance of memories, passing with the swiftness of a dream.”    The Guardian UK

Sound Designer Toby Villis

On a dark frozen night in the Swedish countryside, Hasse Karlsson rushes home to visit his estranged mother before she dies. When the bus he is traveling in breaks down, his mind drifts back to the winter of his 13thyear, when he and his friend Swallow played their dangerous games. He remembers the terrible night the woman came to a chilling end on top of the railway bridge. How did a simple game go so wrong?  How much did his mother really know of his actions? And why, half a lifetime later, can he still not find peace?  

 

This Gothic fable is penned by a master of suspense. Author Henning Mankell’s books have been translated into 19 languages and his detective novels, based around the flawed detective Kurt Wallander, dominate best-seller lists around the world.
