The Chaser’s Age of Terror – 15 to 19 April 2008

Friday, December 7th, 2007

New shows added: 15 and 16 April

Chasers

The Chaser’s bring their Variety Hour show to Perth! From 15 to 19 April 2008 The Chaser’s Age of Terror will be happening at His Majesty’s Theatre in Perth.

After heeding Today Tonight’s complaints about the outrageous waste of taxpayers’ money on their show The War On Everything, the Chaser team has decided to take some time off from TV in the first half of 2008. The Chaser will adopt a purely user-pays approach next year, mounting a national tour of a new live production, The Chaser’s Age Of Terror Variety Hour, from March to June 2008.
War On Everything co-conspirators Andrew Hansen, Chas Licciardello, Julian Morrow and Craig Reucassel will appear in the show. Chris Taylor has opted not to tour while under the cloud of a fatwa issued by the Irwin family, and will remain in an undisclosed location developing new television projects for the team. His irreplaceableness will be demonstrated by the inclusion of Dominic Knight, one of The Chaser’s founders and a writer for the War.

Tickets on sale from BOCS for around $45.

Aureo – Skadada – 17 to 20 Jan 07

Monday, January 8th, 2007

Aureo by Skadada, an electronic circus company, is performed at His Majesty’s Theatre from Wednesday 17 to Saturday 20 January 2007.

The story begins as a young girl falls out of bed and tumbles through dreams into this extraordinary world, the bizarre and astonishing place called Aureo. She then sets out on a surreal and fantastic voyage of discovery into Aureo.

This event sounds like it will appeal to all ages, but is mainly directed at families, and I think especially teens will enjoy it!
It’s ‘packed with stunning aerial acts, extraordinary illusion, incredible dance and music with superb lighting’.

Tickets are $35 for adults, $25 for children (3 to 16), $100 for a family of four and available through BOCS.

Shows are on 7pm on Wednesday 17th, 11am on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and a second show at 7pm on the Saturday (20th).
