The Basin Theatre

Welcome to The Basin Theatre, a premier establishment and point of interest located at The Basin, Simpsons Road, in Australia. We are excited to present our upcoming dramatic comedy, directed by LB Bradley and written by Mark Dunn.

From Thursday, 5 October 2023 to Sunday, 15 October 2023, join us as we delve into the hilarious and heartfelt world of the Walker sisters. When their mother falls ill after consuming bad tuna, eldest sister Peggy takes it upon herself to inform her five siblings. However, a series of phone calls reveals the complex dynamics within the family.

As Peggy reaches out to her sisters, she encounters bitter Aneece, who holds a grudge against their mother. Audrey, on the other hand, prefers communicating through her ventriloquist dummy, Huckle. Sherry, now going by the name Dust, is more interested in abstract poetry with her lover than discussing their mother's ailments. Meanwhile, Roseanne struggles to navigate her crumbling life while her husband experiences a midlife crisis. And youngest sister Paige finds herself entangled in romantic troubles. Through 45 phone calls over one autumn weekend, the Walker family's foundation is tested, love is lost and found, and old wounds are reopened.

At The Basin Theatre, we are committed to providing a memorable experience for our audience. As you attend our performances, you can indulge in complimentary sherry, coffee/tea, and supper. We are proud to collaborate with ORiGiNTM Theatrical on behalf of Samuel French, a Concord Theatricals Company, to bring this production to life.

Furthermore, we are grateful for the support of the Knox City Council Community Development Fund, which has enabled our COVID "Road to Recovery" Project. This initiative aims to ensure the safety of our patrons and staff during these challenging times.
