NOW HEAR THIS! Adelaide's well-loved Unseen Theatre, who have been presenting excellent productions of Discworld plays for almost fifteen years now, do occasionally - very occasionally! - present a non-Discworld play or two.

Since Unseen Theatre has given the continent of Fourecks so much Discworld love, and since their standard of production is so high, it seems only right that Wossname encourage you XXXXian theatre-goers to support Unseen's upcoming non-Discworld production.

And thanks to a brief special offer, you can do it at a discount price! Unseen's Pamela Munt, director of so many great Discworld plays (including the current triumphant run of Small Gods), says:

Anyway, here's the offer:- 2 for 1 tickets (based on the Adult ticket price) for any Wednesday or Thursday night of the show below.

Just book in as per usual, but enter the promotional code "unseen" in the box provided on screen. That will reduce your ticket price to half the adult price = $14 for a professional show!

Only catch is that this offer expires on June 5, so you need to get in quickly with your bookings.


Great theatre company, great offer... what's to lose? To take advantage of this offer and purchase tickets online, go to

REASONS TO BE PRETTY

By Neil LaBute

Love should be blind, shouldn't it? What is your reason to be pretty?

Our obsession with physical beauty is confronted headlong in this perceptive and exhilarating comedy. It is the third in Neil LaBute's trilogy of plays that examines the male/female relationship in honest, arresting and hilarious detail. It follows The Shape of Things and Fat Pig.

Fat Pig was a resounding success at the Bakehouse Theatre in 2013. It was nominated for 'best show comedy' and was winner of 'best male performance' (Daniel McKinnon) by the Adelaide Theatre Guide Curtain Call Awards.

The Bakehouse Theatre celebrates the return of award winning Director Joh Hartog (who also directed The Shape of Things) in this brutal examination of the male/female relationship .

In a story that reminds us all of how we project on to each other what we expect, hope or want to be there, four young friends are about to find out if their relationships can survive a dose of harsh truths. When Carly reports to Steph that her boyfriend Greg has described her as 'regular' looking, there begins an examination of all of their relationships, with unexpected twists, turns and complications as La Bute explores our endless capacity for manipulation.
