The Bunyip Aristocrats
Henry Hobbes is sick of Australia. Henceforth he’s declaring his little patch of arid farmland the "Kingdom of Hobbes" with himself as King. But which of his two estranged kids will he pick as heir to his bogan throne?
From the producers of 5-star Fringe hit 'Parlour Games' comes a dynastic satire; King Lear meets Kenny, The Castle meets The Crown.
Please note: The following performances have had a space change from 'Studio' to 'Mainstage' and a time change since the Adelaide Fringe Guide was printed:
- Monday 28th February
- Tuesday 01st March
- Wednesday 02nd March
- Thursday 03rd March
- Friday 04th March
- Saturday 05th March
Presented by: The Green Guys Company
The Green Guys Company is a collaboration between Neale Irwin and James Harvy, two Adelaide boys and childhood friends who’ve been telling stories for almost three decades – from backyard puppet shows to web series, short film and TV, and now the Adelaide Fringe stage. After their last show 'Parlour Games' earned 5-star reviews and a sell-out run, the Green Guys are hoping to repeat that success with 'The Bunyip Aristocrats'.
