Ursula Yovich And Alana Valentine's BARBARA AND THE CAMP DOGS Comes To Malthouse  Image

BARBARA AND THE CAMP DOGS comes to Malthouse Theatre 7 February - 3 March.

The play is written by Ursula Yovich & Alana Valentine, and directed by Leticia Cáceres. The cast includes Troy Brady, Elaine Crombie, and Ursula Yovich.

Barbara fronts a pub rock band, the Camp Dogs, captivating crowds with cutting wit, diabolical rage and unrepentant sexuality. She's been trying to make it big in Sydney, but it's a tough gig with a tough crowd. In all the relentless demands of city life, Barbara's craving a simple sense of belonging.

When Barbara hears that her mum is sick, she packs the car with her cousin Rene on a wrenching road trip to reconnect with family. The background roar of the road fills the space, intercut with guitar-driven arias.

'Barbara and the Camp Dogs pulses with anger and frustration, it has a huge, tender heart and an overwhelming sense of humanity, with room for hope at the end.' Limelight Magazine

Written by and starring Ursula Yovich (Heart is a Wasteland) as Barbara and Elaine Crombie (Blaque Showgirls) as Rene, Barbara and the Camp Dogs features the duo's powerful vocals, accompanied by an all-female threepiece band.

Malthouse Theatre's Merlyn stage is revived into a classic sticky-carpet venue which will see some audience members seated on bar stools, up-close and personal with the band as they perform original songs about love and home.
