Synopsis: | The production uses drama, dance, music and circus elements to create a visually stunning and socially challenging feast presided over by the austere and remote Butler. Visually there's much to entertain as students' perform on the German wheel, trapeze, hand-balance on chairs, straps, tissue, acrobatics, slapstick, Diablo, hat manipulation, bicycles and unicycle, tight-wire and aerial hoop. More than just a spectacle of circus tricks, 'The Butler' is a multi-media exploration of social behaviour and conventions placed on individuals within Western cultures, says Director Mike Friend. | |||||

Synopsis: | Based on a true incident in which a Lyttleton barman was accidentally locked in an alley and left there all night, Bennett uses it as a vehicle to reflect, humorously, about loneliness and solitary confinement. After all, remarks Tom - the actor and the character - what do we know about being alone; 'Who sees us when we are alone? No-one.' | |||||
