A Night of Pleasure...From Outer Space at The Bakery ARTRAGE Complex 13/9/06 to 23/9/06 A Night of Pleasure...From Outer Space A Double Bill by Weeping Spoon Productions comprising of: The Love Pirate & Zack Adams: Elevator The crew who brought you an outstanding season of theatre with GREED earlier this year are back to grace The Bakery ARTRAGE Complex for more theatre instigated joy. Weeping Spoon love their audience members so much that they have written, directed and produced two shows for you, all to be consumed in one night out at The Bakery ARTRAGE Complex. The Love Pirate... The Love Pirate is an extravagant epic adventure about infidelity and eroticism, fusing animation, puppetry and trash romance novels in a visual sound-scape of stars, smoke and bubbles. Tis a glorious thing an erection, so wise and in touch with our ancestors. It knows no social boundaries, no inhibitions. It knows what it wants and indicates accordingly and it is left up to the The Love Pirate to interpret his compass. This is a tale of such a The Love Pirate, whom in all his naivety trusts and thrusts his navigational equipment, to guide him out of the cold and lonely sea. Alone for 20 years on the high seas, the The Love Pirate has built an empire with nothing but his own arrogance. Until, off in the distance there appeared land, inhabited by a woman the very concept of which aroused his intent to arrive, plunder and conquer. Never did he imagine that their lives would soon be hopelessly entangled, their hearts forever enmeshed, their heated bodies exquisitely entwined. Directed by Wyatt Nixon-Lloyd Performed by Tim Watts and Arielle Gray Design by Nat Holmwood Assistant Director and Puppetry Design by Michelle Anderson Zack Adams: Elevator... The lanky, loveable, loon Zack Adams is coming back to the stage in his brand new show which promises an exciting hybrid of comedy and physical theatre, stand-up, music, dance, a dysfunctional Japanese toy robot, a deranged talking elevator, ninjas, a singing ghost and even some inappropriate mime… It has finally happened. After years of being a struggling actor, Perth actor/comedian Zack Adams has finally hit the big time. He is now a big, big star. People love him and he has everything he thought he ever wanted; money, success, popularity, fame and an audience to perform to. But on the opening night of his highly-anticipated second solo show, with legions of loyal, devoted fans waiting in the theatre, the star is nowhere to be found. They all begin to fear the worst, has he been kidnapped? Is he dead? Has he got stage fright? Did he crash his limo? Why hasn’t he called? Where is Zack Adams? Zack Adams is trapped, in an Elevator. And with only one hour to make his big performance, he must travel down ten floors and along the way he finds himself dealing with far more than he bargained for and learns that there may be more to life than success. “Fame is a harsh mistress. It can do strange things to people. It can very quickly change them, it can warp their personality, it can alter their perception of reality, and it can even, on very rare occasions, get them stabbed in the face by an imaginary unicorn. For me, that’s where I draw the line. ” - Zack Adams Written and performed by Shane Adamczak Directed by Laura Motherway Muzack by Michael Fragomeni and Ethan Tomas.
