An Evening Without Kate Bush

Cabaret

United Kingdom • Adelaide Fringe Premiere

Enter Strange Phenomena, howl with the Hounds Of Love and dance on the moors with Wuthering Heights.

Kate's not there, but you are.

This award-winning cult cabaret pays glorious tribute to the music, fans and mythology of one of the most influential voices in pop music.

“You don’t need to be a Kate Bush fan to be transported into something very special” Scotsman ★★★★

From releasing Wuthering Heights aged just 19 to selling out the Hammersmith Apollo nearly 40 years later, Bush has always surprised and confounded her critics.

Through it all her fans have stayed strong. Whether you’ve been a ‘Fish Person’ for decades or recently joined the shoal via Stranger Things, release your inner Bush at this joyful, unique and mind-blowing show.

Made by Sarah-Louise Young & Russell Lucas.

Presented by: Hey Dowling

Hey Dowling is the intersection of two production companies that have joined forces to amplify artistic expression and bring new works to stage. It is the meeting of Hey Boss – a collaborative production company specialising in edgy, contemporary, broadly accessible, fun, and intellectually sophisticated work spanning the genres of cabaret, comedy, theatre and music – and Dowling Street Productions – a commercial production company specialising in main-stage, works of scale in the areas of cabaret, musical theatre, music and dramatic theatre.

Inspired by the elation of shared mass experience, their work aims to connect, to fuel empathy, understanding and unity through universal languages of pathos, humour, music, movement.
