An ironic play on Hen's Night, the quaint pre-nuptial ritual of brides to be, Henna Night is basically a cock-fight, or a fight over a cock, from two brooding chicks.

Inspired by a true story, the play follows the ruthless 19th Century businessman, Theodore Lent, as he tours his freak show across Russia.

An absolute corker of an evening. The venue was packed with enthusiastic fans and friends and the artists were in fine voice accompanied by excellent musicians.

The world has come to a catastrophic end… The stars are blipping out of existence, carnivorous fog is eating people alive, and if rumours are to be believed, Godzilla is walking the Earth, incinerating everything in its path.

Reflective yet insular – the original play Pigman’s Lament indulges in intellectualism. Some of the audience will relate to the personal story and others might feel alienated by the esoteric references.

There’s a sense of real sharing on stage, no clashing egos, just sublime music making by some of the best in the business.

Adelaide Rep’s version of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is a delight. Director Barry Hill has delivered up a gratifyingly insinuating and refined production of the Tennessee Williams classic.
