The Butcher, The Baker ...
You want to be a butcher? You’ve got to love a butcher
“The Butcher, The Baker ... was originally inspired by my experiences of living with a group of women on Amazon Acres deep in the New South Wales bush in the 1970s – ‘No men, no meat, no machines!’”
– Ella Filar, writer
A tale with a twist, The Butcher, The Baker ... is a story of a woman who – in an effort to probe the mystery of a man she is obsessed with, but cannot get close to – disguises herself as a male. But the plan misfires and she is left with more than a sting in her tail!

"Cabaret at its best!"
"Fantastically haunting cabaret music of the Weimar period... . Keen powers of observations... seething, seamy eroticism."
"The songs are the stand-out element, the music has an urgency to it that is alluring and the lyrics are rich in imagery"
"A deft mixture: poetic monologue, some excellent dialogue and nifty, moody songs... well-structured and crafted and always with a wacky European edge to its delivery"
