Portraits of Modern Evil

Portraits of Modern Evil By Robert Reid Directed by Adam Mitchell Set & Costume Design by Brad Reid Featuring the HotBed Ensemble: Anita Erceg, Brendan Ewing, Jo Morris, Thomas Papathanassiou, Ben Russell and Amanda Woodhams. The Painter and The Killer: A Deadly Encounter In the winter of 1942, Melbourne's shadowy streets were the scene of three brutal stranglings by the elusive Brown-Out Strangler. These killings took place as World War II wore on to its bloody climax and as Melbourne was invaded by its allies: an army of hard-drinking American soldiers living loudly and lewdly. Portraits of Modern Evil imagines what might have happened if two men on whom the war indelibly left its mark had crossed paths: Albert Tucker, one of Australia’s greatest modern painters and Eddie Leonski, better known as Australia’s first serial killer. Filled with haunting multimedia images this surreal and frightening tale is set to intrigue your senses. For more info visit www.bstc.com.au.
