Overview
Opening the Tamarama Rocksurfers 2014 season is The Pride, which describes itself as "David Attenborough meets The Mighty Boosh" and sounds like a good night out for anyone who likes a bit of surrealist theatre. The award-winning play from Perth's Side Pony Productions is written by director Zoe Pepper collaboratively with cast members Adriane Daff, Brendan Ewing and Russell Leonard.
The plot, from what we can gather, revolves around a family drama in the life of three lions. One of them, Bruce, is trying to take care of his family and do some renovations (who knew lions were into home improvement?) while feeling threatened by the presence of James, an attractive, potentially more virile neighbour.
Yep, sounds a little strange, but it won the ArtsHub People's Choice Award in 2012 and was apparently a smash at last year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival. So maybe head along and check out what a few talented folks from the west coast can do.
The Pride runs from March 18 to April 5 at the Bondi Pavilion, and thanks to the Tamarama Rock Surfers, we have three double passes to the March 19 preview to give away.
