The Punter's Siren
 

‘We put money on that horse to win. Then, if we win…’

The Punter’s Siren is an Australian comedy by award-winning playwright Gina Schien that wowed Sydney audiences during two sell-out seasons.

We’re now thrilled to be taking it to the 2020 Adelaide Fringe.

The extraordinary Jacqui Robson reprises her role as the timid Helen who falls for a mysterious woman at her first day at the races. A woman who tempts Helen with an outrageous proposal.  

Will she say yes? Should she say no?

The Punter’s Siren is a richly satisfying, life-affirming hour on stage. Produced as a two-hander in Sydney the show will be performed in Adelaide as it was originally written – a high-octane one-woman show with a twist.  

‘Robson is Lucille Ball, Mary Tyler Moore and Jim Carrey all rolled into one. Hers is a thoroughbred performance - and is most definitely the reason why punters have been barracking for more...This actress is a bolter!’ - Rose Cooper, Stage Whispers.

‘Some of the most refreshing and wittiest play-writing you’ll find this side of the equator.’ Bridget Conway, Lip magazine.
