Hillbilly Horror
Following a popular season in Darwin in 2016 Artback NT and The Royal National Theatre of Jingili take Hillbilly Horror down the Stuart Highway this March.
Something’s rotten in the Cooters’ backwoods cabin – and it’s not just Grandma’s guts. A blood moon’s soon to rise – once more activating the Cooter curse, caused by a dire and dreadful secret from the kinfolks dim, dark past.
13 chillun’ lie buried in the Cooters’ family plot and another one is set to join them.
Mama’s missing and Pa’s gone mad. Will the remaining siblings counter the curse and live to tell the tale, or will the graveyard bell yet again sound its doleful toll?
This physical, musical comedy of horrorful hilarity features a stellar cast including Gail Evans, Nicola Fearn, Tania Lieman, Yoris Wilson and Ciella Williams.
Having performed together on many occasions in different incarnations, their style is physical comedy, using no set and virtually no props to create multiple characters, sound effects and story.
The show returns to Darwin for two performances, before travelling to Katherine, Tennant Creek and Alice Springs.
