Red Dust Theatre presents Maryanne Butler’s new play Half Way There – a story with a poetic heart and a uniquely Australian sense of humour. Think Croc Dundee meets Samuel Beckett via Sam Shepherd with a good bit of Monty Python thrown in and… well… you’re Half Way There
Half Way is remote, the sort of place where you can drive for half a day without seeing another human being. Harriet and Wes run the Half Way pub cum brothel that is falling apart around them. Wes wants to leave but Harriet is not moving. Sabrina, the new manager, enters Half Way with an entrepreneurial eye, eager to turn Half Way into the ultimate luxury destination.
Half Way There is a co-production between Knock-Em-Down Theatre, JUTE Theatre and Darwin Theatre Company, and presented in Alice Springs by Red Dust Theatre.
Show Times: Thur 27 & Fri 28 August
Venue: Centralian College Theatrette, Grevillea Dv, Alice Springs
Tickets: Full $25/Conc $17/Child $13/Group 10+ $17. Available at Araluen Box Office 08 89511120

Hi you all ( Iain, Whitney,Gail, Laura and Ralph not forgetting CREW ) – just a note to wish you well in The Alice and enjoy your performance ! Peter was involved with Centralian College for many years but the Theatrette is after his time. He remembers a 14 performance season of "Oliver" as "grandfather" in the Atrium space of what was then Sadadeen Senior High School ( 1983 )
We both really enjoyed the show in Cairns as it brought back so many memories of Territorian characters, plus the performances were ace ( ehem ).
Will you get time to visit Sinkatinny Downs ?
See some of you back in Cairns soon,
Love from Janet and Peter Hughes
