Bernard is not unique. Some thirty years ago his father made the ill-fated decision to clone him. Starring legendary Australian comedian and actor Kim Gyngell (The Comedy Company, Underbelly, Lowdown) and rising star Brent Hill (The Producers, Rock of Ages), A Number is an outrageous experiment in nature versus nurture that will have you on the edge of your seat.

THE DEGREE OF INNOVATION IS EXTRA- ORDINARY. EVERY (CARYL CHURCHILL) PLAY ALMOST REINVENTS THE FORM OF THEATRE. Dominic Cooke, Artistic Director, Royal Court Theatre

From award-winning NSW playwright Lachlan Philpott (Silent Disco — AWGIE Award Best Play 2011) and critically acclaimed director Melissa Cantwell comes Alienation, a new production inspired by interviews with Australian alien abductees. Provocative, witty and ultimately human, Alienation will divide believers and skeptics with the question, “how far will you go for what you believe in?”

PERTH THEATRE COMPANY’S COMMITMENT TO NEW IDEAS IS FRESH AND EXCITING. ALIENATION WILL BE A BRAVE AND INVENTIVE PIECE OF THEATRE Jonathan Holloway, Artistic Director, Perth International Arts Festival

Alienation is proudly supported by City of Perth
