Award-winning theatre-maker Tara Notcutt (...MISKIEN, THE THREE LITTLE PIGS, MAFEKING ROAD) will stage Neil LaBute's BASH, a disturbing journey into the inner lives of seemingly ordinary people, at the Alexander Bar, Café and Theatre this February and March.

A collection of three dark and delicious one act plays, BASH explores the complexities of evil in everyday life.

Made up of unforgettable personal accounts by seemingly nice people, BASH is one of the playwright's most popular and biting works. His signature rich and raw language fills the mouths of a woman who tells of her complex relationship with her high school English teacher, a businessman who confides in a stranger in a Las Vegas hotel room, and a young couple who recount the events of an anniversary weekend.

Written in 1999, BASH went on to win the Time Out Critic's Choice Award and has enjoyed hundreds of productions all over the world. Notcutt's South African production will star Alicia McCormick (MATE, ANGELS ON HORSEBACK, THE THINGS YOU LEFT BEHIND) and Jacques Theron (SHEPHERDS AND BUTCHERS, LOT, BABBEL).
