After nine years of sell-out shows, the multi-award-winning creative team behind WA’s most popular FRINGE WORLD show (Bogan Shakespeare) returns with a brand-new, yet familiar, holiday spectacle: A Christmas Carol at Subiaco Arts Centre, December 4-21.
Set against the backdrop of the silly season in WA, specifically Christmas Eve, the show is a hilarious and heart-warming reimagining of the classic A Christmas Carol tale. From the frantic search for the last Honey Ham, cleaning the back patio for that one time that guests will actually see it, to the anticipation of the annual Lynx gift pack from Aunt Linda, the production captures the unique quirks and traditions of the Australian festive period.
However, one individual will have none of it. One individual, if they can help it, will spend their Chrissie with no ham, no patio and no Lynx gift pack from Aunt Linda. This man is Ebenezer Scrooge and to the holidays he says: “Bah Hum-bugger off!”
But this time of year, can be magical in more ways than one. Whether it’s the sun, the seafood or sinking a few, this time of year can play with one’s head. And this eve will be particularly special, for on this very night Ebenezer will be faced with the literal and figurative ghosts of his past, present and future and asked the age-old question “Mate, why you always acting like such a prick?”
Join the exceptional cast of Bogan Literature for a very special Bogan A Christmas Carol as they take Ebenezer Scrooge on a journey of self-discovery through witty dialogue, memorable characters, and plenty of laughs.
