17.01.2022 Our friends Montague Basement are the first to perform as part of KXTs new PopUpstairs program for an immersive theatrical experience with BLOOD ON THE CATS NECK. Performances start tonight. Chookas- we cant wait!... ... Phoebe Zeitgeist has been sent to the earth from a distant star to write an eyewitness account of human democracy. But Phoebe Zeitgeist has a difficulty: although she has learned the words, she doesnt understand humanlanguage. Seen through the eyes of the alien Phoebe Zeitgeist, Rainer Werner Fassbinder weaves a tapestry of petty nastiness, jealousy, insecurity, bullying and domination as an ever-shifting cast of characters move closer towards Phoebes orbit and their own bloody fate. Hilarious and horrifying, Blood On The Cats Neck is a vibrant reminder of why the German rebel remains one of the most unique and revolutionary voices in theatre history. Blood On The Cats Neck By Rainer Werner Fassbinder May 22 - June 1 The Bordello, PopUpstairs at KXT More info: montaguebasement.com/bloodonthecatsneck

16.01.2022 !!We are sold out for our final night in Perth!! And what a warm reception we have had.. 9/10! "This is honest, touching, the script full of amazing life advice befitting of a woman who has reached this advanced station in life. The fact Hawkins is able to honour that in the way he does, remembering the wisdoms he has learned from the ladies he has taken inspiration from to create this character, just shows how closely he listened to them, how much respect and admiration he feels for them, and is enough to make you want to hug him and every older lady in your life."

09.01.2022 SURREALIST Leonora Carrington, creator of her own narrative, has been a big inspiration behind the making of Maureen: Harbinger of Death.. "In their art, the Surrealists used women as symbols of volatility, but the minority of women Surrealistsincluding Carrington, Dorothea Tanning, and Leonor Finisuggested that changeableness itself could be a source of power." https://www.newyorker.com//leonora-carrington-rewrote-the-

03.01.2022 "It feels just like a regular conversation with someone reminiscing, yet it draws you in and catches your breath."

02.01.2022 "Frances Duca plays a wife and mother who is shrinking away from the world as she loses touch with her husband and son. Duncan Fellows is a strung-out supermarket store manager who is just trying to get through the day and find a little pride in his tuna fish can pyramid. Like a lot of teenagers, Bridie McKims character lets out her pent-up frustration by skipping school, ignoring her mother, and stealing chocolate bars. Tom Anson Mesker plays a man who is struggling in perhaps intangible ways but he is definitely angry." - Night Writes TUESDAY **FINAL WEEK** DETAILS + TICKETS: https://bit.ly/2S2GPZr
