Bakehouse Theatre Company Presents The ELEPHANT SONG, November 10-25

The Adelaide-based Bakehouse Theatre company will present Nicolas Billon's "The Elephant Song" November 10-25 at the Bakehouse theatre.

The play is billed as an intriguing mystery with humour, twists and turns and a haunting conclusion.

An eminent psychiatrist has vanished from his office. The last person to have seen him is Michael, a troubled patient obsessed with all things elephants. Dr Greenberg, the hospital director, is determined to question Michael, ignoring the head nurse's warnings.

The ensuing interview is anything but straightforward. Michael hints at murder and foul play, leading Dr Greenburg through mind games, verbal tugs-of-war, and a cat and mouse game that will keep you guessing until the very end.

The show will be directed by Peter Green and will feature Roger Newcombe, Tim Lucas and Lyn Pike.

The Bakehouse Theatre is located at 255 Angas Street in Adelaide. Previews begin Novemer 10 & 11 with an official opening November 12. Each performance begins at 8pm. Tickets are between $10-$20.
