Shakers Re-StirredSHOW DATES:
Sept 28, 8.30pm

Sept 30, 7pm
October 2, 2.30pm, 7pm
Every town has its local cocktail bar where everyone wants to be seen. From the local check out girls through to the chinless wonders, yuppies and local lads. 'Shakers' gives a wickedly funny glimpse of this 'cock sucking cowboy' world through the eyes of four long suffering waitresses.
A night out with a play from the prolific pen of John Godber, is an entertaining, thought-provoking glimpse into aspects of our modern life with lots of social comment wrapped up in some high comedy and seasoned with masses of killing one-liners.
-David Porter, Eastern Daily Press
On a sell-out first night with a noticeably younger crowd than usual, I was laughing with the whole audience as I found myself identifying with more than one character in what must be an extremely familiar situation for many people.
-Sally Beadle, BBC
I laughed at the customers mispronouncing the menu items and if this appears unbelievable, I have heard 'meringue' pronounced 'meringway'
-Peter Steptoe, Croydon Today
'Shakers: Re-Stirred' is Godber and Thornton's hilarious romp through the nightlife of passing trade in an uptown cocktail bar - complete with disgruntled waitresses, awkward customers, lads and checkout girls on a boozy night out.
-Nottingham Arts Theatre

THE 39 STEPSSEPTEMBER 28 – OCTOBER 1 8PM, OCTOBER 2 5PM
London, 1935. Man of the world Richard Hannay returns to the mother country after exhausting years conquering pygmies in the colonies, thinking to find some peace and quiet. It’s not to be. One adventurous evening at the theatre and Hannay finds himself wanted for murder and on the run across the
country. Battling everything from dodgy underwear salesmen to reluctant love interests, he’s on a mission to uncover the true nature of the mysterious Thirty Nine Steps armed with only his wits and a very fine moustache.
In this production of Patrick Barlow’s play adapted by Simon Corble and Nobby Dimon based on Alfred Hitchcock’s film based on John Buchan’s novel, four performers will play over one hundred characters in locations from the London Palladium to the wild heaths of Scotland. Sharp, fast and funny, this
is one for Hitchcock lovers, comedy lovers, adventure lovers and lover lovers.

Debris
9pm 22-25 September and 29 September - 2 October
Award-winning playwright Dennis Kelly gives us a fractured glimpse at an urban dystopia, imagined by two tormented, uniquely violent minds. In a new production by Bodysnatchers, "Debris" explores our propensity to love and the damaging nature of loss, tugging at the familial ties that bind and leave us held together by static electricity that burns into our skin and marks us as belonging to one another.

A new theatre work by Bodysnatchers, "Gobbledygook" examines the apparatuses our lives are filtered through; the mess of signal, frequency and wire. The lone woman speaks into the phone as if being pulled apart by horses; her life slowly being disconnected. A raw investigation into the voice and language, Gobbledygook stages the parallax gap between imagination and reality.

Putting It Together
Playing from 11 Sept - 2 Oct
Presented by OVO Australia for the 2011 Sydney Fringe, “Putting it Together” is a musical revue showcasing the songs of Stephen Sondheim, a Broadway legend who has written the music and lyrics to some of the biggest hits in musical theatre in the last fifty years, including “Sweeny Todd”, “A Funny Thing Happened On The Way to the Forum”, Company” and “Follies”.
Drawing its title from a song in “Sunday in the Park with George”, the show was devised by Sondheim and Julia McKenzie, receiving several productions beginning with its premiere in England in 1992 and finally on Broadway in 1999.
The revue-style format of “Putting It Together” draws upon Sondheim’s rich and varied body of work to examine the key themes of love and relationships, both sweet and sour. We explore the relationships meet couples in love, couples who have come to the end of their union and men and women who will never get it together. During the course of an all-night, black-tie cocktail party in a penthouse, an older couple face their disillusions and marital troubles with a younger, less jaundiced couple, and an outside observer. The spouses deal with infidelity and divorce but finally reconcile before dawn.
Favourite songs featured in the show include “Pretty Women”, “The Ladies Who Lunch”, “Merrily We Roll Along” and of course, the title number. The show is a must-see for fans of musical theatre and features over 30 of Sondheim's best-loved songs.

The issues involving Buy Dildo Sydney has been a popular topic amongst scholars for many years. There are many factors which influenced the development of Buy Dildo Sydney. Indispensable to homosapians today, Buy Dildo Sydney is not given the credit if deserves for inspiring many of the world’s famous painters. Often it is seen as both a help and a hindrance to those most reliant on technology, who are likely to form a major stronghold in the inevitable battle for hearts and minds. At the heart of the subject are a number of key factors. I plan to examine each of these factors in detail and assess their importance.
There're actually quite a lot of activities that go on around Sydney at any point of time in the year. You just have to keep your eyes peeled for flyers and announcements. There are so many communities for art and culture and music or even books and exercising and all that. Pick your poison and it'll be like holiday activities all year long!
