We’ve decked the BATS foyer with upside down Christmas trees and decorated it with bats to get us into the festive mood. pop in and check it out

Blinkers and Spurs opens Wednesday 6.30pm. Fresh from a season at Melbourne comes this “Fascinating, new, disturbing, funny. awful, real, outrageous, moving and sharp” two hander double bill. Blinkers returns back to BATS with an additional companion piece Spurs. A rock and roll romance and a way out western? We’ve got it all at BATS!

Opening on this Thursday, we have Christmas Indoors, The anti-Christmas play of the year at BATS from the 2008 Bruce Mason Award winner Paul Rothwell. This one will be cracker. Directed by Paul McLaughlin and with a killer cast, book yourself indoors this season.

_Blinkers and Spurs

‘Blinkers’ Directed by Sophie Roberts

‘Spurs’ Directed by Laurel Devenie

Season: Wednesday 3 – Saturday 6 December

Time: 6.30pm

Tickets: $18 Full / $13 Concession

Two high-paced two-handers, performed back to back, Blinkers and Spurs is a theatrical cocktail of doormats and gun-slingers.

In Spurs we are taken to the Wild West, where a Cowboy on the run has a strange and fateful exchange with a mysterious Indian. Then in Blinkers, the walls are brought crashing down between two seemingly disparate neighbours: Amy, a slovenly punk-rock fantasist, and Monty, a fastidious librarian obsessed with horses.

Trisha's family came closer together after she disappeared without a trace... Her Dad became a guru of grief counselling, her fiancé swore off women forever, and her sister basically stole her life. Trisha's mother abandons them all – just in time for Christmas. Then something shocking happens, something that will force them back together under one roof, ruin plans, break hearts, upset futures and bring absolution at last..
