kimberlEy whale research

at mojos bar, FREMANTLE

See a gig to support whale research! You'd have to be from Mars not to know, but Colin and his oil and gas industry mates want to build an enormous gas hub on a pristine part of the Kimberley coast that has very special cultural and environmental importance. Part of the line they are spinning is that whales don't come close to the coast, or calve at this location - but we know that's bullshit! Some amazing people are volunteering for months on end this year to document the whales and get the proof we need, but they need equipment and some money for running costs. That's where you come in! Throw in some cash and feel good / have a great time doing it by coming down.

We're lucky enough to have playing:
DILIP N THE DAVs (Acoustic Trio)
HOMBRES DEL MAR
& ENSEMBLE FORMIDABLE SOUND SYSTEM

For info about the campaign visit wilderness.org.au/kimberley or environskimberley.org.au Come have fun with us and raise some cash.

beauty and the beast

at the old mill theatre, south perth

The Old Mill Theatre is staging the world premiere of the latest play from Hollywood writer and director David Stevens this June, best known for The Sum of Us, A Town Like Alice and Breaker Morant.

Described as a “love story re-invented”, The Beast and The Beauty re-works the classic tale of magic and enchantment and sets it in the Australian outback of the late 1880s.

The so-called beast is an ordinary man, horribly disfigured in a bushfire as a baby.

Director Mark DeFriest is bringing the show to life, a veteran of more than 800 hours of television drama in the US and Australia.

His credits include Cop Shop, The Sullivans, Prisoner, The Flying Doctors, Chances, Ocean Girl, Ship To Shore, Streetsmartz and the Doctor Who spin-off K-9, among many others.

The Beast and The Beauty plays at 8pm, July 11, 12, 13 and 14.

Tickets are $25, $20 concession – book on 9367 8719 or oldmilltheatre@iinet.net.au.

it's dark outside

at studio underground, state theatre centre of wa

Created and performed by Tim Watts, Arielle Gray and Chris Isaacs.

Music composed by Rachael Dease

The creators of the international multi-award winning production The Adventures of Alvin Sputnik: Deep Sea Explorer have created another heartfelt adventure. Using puppetry, mask, animation and live performance they deliver a grand epic western about redemption and dementia. As the sun sets, an old man and his noble tent go wandering into the wild. He is losing his mind. Swept up in a surreal world, he is on the run. Meanwhile, a mysterious tracker has caught the scent, and is hell bent on hunting him down. But while he can try and run away from the life he once knew, he can’t hide from everything.

29 June - 14 July.

hedda gabler

at the melville theatre, melville

Hedda Gabler.
By Henrik Ibsen. Translated by Christopher Hampton.
By arrangement with Origin, on behalf of Samuel French, Inc.
Directed by Kirilee Lennerts

Hedda: Academics certainly don’t make entertaining traveling companions.
Brack: Not even... the academic you love?
Hedda: Ugh, please don’t use that nauseating word.

Hedda Tesman, daughter of the aristocratic general - General Gabler, returns from her honeymoon with her aspiring, reliable but bland academic husband, George Tesman. No sooner have they arrived when their lives are thrown into disarray with the reappearance of Tesman’s academic rival, Lovborg, and Hedda’s old schoolmate, Thea. Judge Brack also soon arrives at the Tesmans’ house with an agenda all of his own...
Rivalries of all natures begin to occur, and Hedda is determined not to lose - no matter the cost.

Season:
13, 14, 19, 20, 21, 26, 27 and 28th July @ 8pm
