IN THE BAKEHOUSE STUDIO THEATRE.

Renegade Productions is proud to present its latest opus "Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus", adapted from the novel by Mary Shelley.

IN THE BAKEHOUSE STUDIO THEATRE

Is our gender a "cage" that blinkers our experience of the world and each other?

How do we align the discursions of academia with the politics of today?

Have the examinations of the human condition offered by artists across all genres and all ages (from Greek tragedies through to our modern soap operas) resulted in any real changes to the way we structure our lives?

Renegade Productions examines these questions through a multi-disiplinary performance of drama, song, sound and movement.

****1/2 (four and a half stars) from The Adelaide Theatre Guide.   - "This is what the Fringe is about" - Fran Edwards.

"This play.....tells the real story of what was going on behind the scenes between Hamlet, his good mate Horatio, and....Ophelia. Lots of hanky panky seems to be the answer......." Cameron England - The Advertiser

The play Melbourne found too hot to handle and banned - Bill Henson and His Children: A short play about why Kevin Rudd should have studied art.

The Bill Henson saga meets sideshow alley as the art scandal of 2008 comes alive under the Big Top (well almost).  Be warned, you will be offended!

This production of Bill Henson and His Children features all but one of the original cast of the People's Choice Award winning play from Short and Sweet 2009.

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!  This show has now turned into a double billing! Two shows for the price of one!

"WAITING FOR MAMDOUGH" 

**** (4 stars out of 5) from The Advertiser

"Habib......conveys a level of cathartic vulnerability which makes this piece of theatrical sharing a very rare and intimate experience". - Samela Harris

In the early hours of 2 October 2001, Mamdouh Habib and two young German men were taken off a bus travelling between Quetta and Karachi by Pakistani ssecurity officers. It was shortly after 9/11 and only days befor the United States attacked Afganistan. A few unlucky ones were then 'rendered' to a third-party country to be further interrogated and tortured, where they either disappeared into a web of secret prisons or were sent to Guantanomo Bay. This is what happened to Mamdouh Habib.

Waiting for Mamdouh is a short but moving performance piece about Mamdouh Habib who is caught up in the post-September 11 turmoil and detained in Guantanamo Bay and his wife Maha who is left in Australia with her four children uncertain of his fate. Featuring Mamdouh Habib, through a set of monologues, Mamdouh and Maha tell their own stories, of their anguish and their triumphs in a time when nothing is predictable or certain.

IN THE BAKEHOUSE MAIN STAGE.

The Rocksurfers Hit the Adelaide Fringe 2010 after a sell-out season at the Old Fitz in May 2009.

The Chronic Ills of Robert Zimmerman is a surrealo-absurdist theatrical re-imagining of the life and weird times of folk-rock legend and pop cultural icon Bob Dylan.

Written by award winning Sydney poet, playwright, and journalist  Benito Di Fonzo, The Chronic Ills is a reverently ironic homage to the man born Robert Allen Zimmerman sixty-eight years ago this May 24.

Star Trek - The Trouble with Tribbles

This comedy borrows elements from both the Commedia Del' Arte and Burlesque traditions to send up doctors, wives, brutality and death. It is for a general audience, though children may particularly enjoy the exaggerated, absurd characters.  Norman has just learnt that he's about to die and his life changes dramatically as he finally stands up to his domineering Wife, the bullying Brute and the condescending Doctor. As it turns out, there has been a mistake on the part of the doctor, but Norman will never be the same.

A double bill. Two tales. Firstly, think Requiem for a Dream meets Weekend at Bernies. Well, kind of. Our protagonist is dead but that doesn't mean he can't make us laugh! Secondly, view two rooms with two women. One sane, the other insane. Both are utterly convinced. Something tremendous is about to happen.

If you were the last woman on earth, who would you choose for the last man? For poor Louise it’s not the gorgeous, intelligent man of her dreams. Instead, she is trapped with her rather unnerving work colleague Mark.  Louise (Hannah Norris) wakes to find herself with her work colleague, Mark, (Nick Pelomis) in his 1980s backyard nuclear bomb shelter. A terrorist ‘dirty bomb’ has gone off in central London and Mark has rescued Louise. Louise has no memory of the bomb going off at the pub where they were both drinking at the time or in fact how she got to the shelter.
