Bakehouse Hosts Boxing Day Test, Previews November 25

Please join us for the last show for 2010 at the Bakehouse. This one is brought to you by JUNGLEBEAN, whose previous successes include two seasons of Jim Cartwright's TWO and Neil LaBute's AUTOBAHN.

This is the world premiere of a new play by Michael Hill, entitled "Boxing Day Test", and its sure to knock everyone for six.

The Boxing Day Test - a time where a nation becomes one with the couch. So is the mantra of David and Patrick, brothers, housemates and cricket lovers.

It's a time of transition for the boys - Patrick is starting a new job in corporate law, which is convenient because Davids's latest enterprise isn't exactly legal, the lease on their share house is up and they're both struggling with women, well, just one actually.
If that wasn't enough, this year has added significance as it marks the first anniversary of their mother's tragic death.
And then there's Dad..
The boys share an uneasy peace with their contriolling father John, who seems to be doing his best to bring the family back together. But are his intentions completely altruistic? Patrick seems to thinks so, but why doesn't David?
With all the nervous anticipation of the Test itself, this year's Boxing Day Test, is going to knock everyone for six.
