Adelaide Fringe

Theatre is a Blood Sport

The Centre for International Theatre is issuing a challenge to all red-blooded Aussies out there who think theatre and the Arts are for softies: come see it and then see what you think!

‘There is always a really interesting crossover period between the Adelaide Fringe and Clipsal, where the theatre-goers and the sports-fans take to the streets in real face-offs’ Artistic Director Guy Masterson.

‘Even locals can get a bit nervous around the East End’ chimes in Adelaide-based Producer Joanne Hartstone.

‘But I tell you what, theatre can feel just as dangerous as anything when every time you get up on that stage, anything could happen. It’s live, it’s unpredictable, and no matter what anyone says, each performance is different!

‘Except thankfully there are far fewer lives at risk’ laughs Masterson.

‘We hope that more Aussies are willing to take a chance on the ghost train this year and really open up Adelaide to new experiences.

Hartstone will be playing the scariest of characters on the theatre ride, reprising her role as Annie Wilkes in ‘Misery’.

CIT was created in 2010 to provide a centralised platform for the economically viable presentation of international theatre at what has become the most important annual cultural event in the southern hemisphere, the Adelaide Fringe, and to attract and develop new audiences.

Tickets can be booked via citadelaide.com or FringeTix.
