Buenos Aires. The future, but only just. Marcos, a grieving father with an estranged wife, runs a meat-processing plant. His world looks a lot like ours, with one glaring difference. A 'virus' has infected all animals, rendering them inedible and toxic to humans. In response, governments instigate 'The Transition' - the legalisation of cannibalism. Marcos works in a plant that prepares human meat for consumption to fund his senile father's care, and is gifted a female to butcher or raise.

With a rip-roaring score by the Queen of Country, 9 to 5 the Musical tells the story of three workmates pushed to boiling point by their sexist and egotistical boss. Concocting a plan to kidnap and turn the tables on their despicable supervisor, will the ladies manage to reform their office - or will events unravel when the CEO pays an unexpected visit? Inspired by the iconic 80's film and brought to you by Dolly herself, this hilarious new production is about teaming up, standing up and taking care of business!

9 to 5

Our search for identity, for who we are, what we are, our desire to communicate, our fear of rejection, our need for acceptance, to be understood… 

These issues preoccupy us today as they did the poets of the late 18th century and the composers of the 19th century. 

Soul searching is neither, age, gender or culture specific. We find examples in all art forms and across the ages. 

However, one might say that these preoccupations are the domain of youth, who with their courage and unfettered curiosity, dare to ask questions which many of us as adults have long buried under our daily routines. 

Opera, the language of emotional expression is the ideal place to explore these feelings. 

And if “opera” is an emotional outpouring, then of course so is the Lieder form, combining powerful poetry with wonderful music.
