In a premiere production, Tim Freedman and Alex Broun's "Truth, Beauty and a Picture of You" is playing at Hayes Theatre Co from Friday, 9 May 2014.
Truth, Beauty and a Picture of You is about the hope you find when all hope is lost, as four lost souls struggle to find peace with themselves and their pasts. If not, they'll just have to move to Marrickville. Featuring many of Tim's biggest hits from a life in music this new Australian musical theatre work is moving, funny and surprisingly romantic. Tom's dad Stuie used to be in a band. They were big - sort of. Legends on three blocks in the inner-west. That was many years ago and Stuie has long since gone to the big pub gig in the sky while the surviving band members, Anton and Charlie, are wrestling with their own personal demons: Charlie is holding up the front bar in a succession of pubs on King St while Anton just wants the past to stay in the past while he disappears into a blur of mediocrity. When Tom arrives in town from Taree to search out his dad's old band mates, the slow decline of Anton and Charlie is rudely interrupted.Hayes Theatre Co is a dedicated music theatre and cabaret venue in Potts Point which was formally the home of the Darlinghurst Theatre Company.
