The team that brought you the highly successful production of Hair earlier this year, Bangalow Theatre Company, has now switched gears to present a straight play for the first time ever!
Eddie Perfect’s The Beast is a biting black comedy that explores the lives of three couples seeking a more organic existence – after surviving a nasty near-death experience, a group of close friends wipe the slate clean and embrace a tree-change, living a sustainable life in the country. But nature isn’t always so welcoming, and when the friends are faced with the pressing task of killing a young cow, a chain reaction begins that will see them confront some ugly and shocking truths.
Originally commissioned by Melbourne Theatre Company, this play highlights a raft of relatable issues and character types well known to us all.
