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