ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
An Australian Murder Ballad, Angus Cerini's The Bleeding Tree makes only its second appearance in the UK, so Cait talks with the cast, Michelle, Rachel and Indie about this challenging, entertaining new production directed by Paul Dineen.
In a dirt-dry Australian town, a gunshot shatters the still night. A mother and her daughters have just welcomed home the man of the house – with a crack to the shins and a bullet to the neck. With a body to dispose of and neighbours asking awkward questions, their story unfolds with a raw, rude, and sometimes brutally funny intensity.
Described as “dangerous, deep, and devastatingly beautiful,” it’s a razor-sharp thriller and a haunting exploration of revenge, complicity, and survival. With its dark humour, poetic beauty, and searing wit, it is theatre at its boldest and most unforgettable.

The cast is: Mum played by Michelle Robertson with Rachel Syder as Ada and Indianna Dimmer as Ida. The Director is Paul Dineen. New music created for the production by Nick Wells.
