A somber and brooding meditation on destiny, lost innocence and the nature of evil, The Baby Farmer is The Laudanum Project's most ominous work to date.
Set against the backdrop of London's East End during the 1870's, this one act play explores the isolation and spiraling madness that surrounds 6 year old Agatha May and her mentally ill mother Winnifred Alcorn. Amidst an ever growing nightmare of premonitions, omens and visitations Agatha and Winnifred's darkened world slowly begins to unravel when a shadowy stranger with a sinister agenda appears on the streets of Whitechapel and initiates a terrifying game of cat and mouse that will leave both mother and daughter changed forever.
The Laudanum Project are -- Captain Enoch Malleus (Gareth Skinner): Keyboard, cello & all musical composition.
- Alphonse Cheese-Probert (Nick Ravenswood): Performer & writer.
In a unique and artistically ambitious step, The Baby Farmer story has also been released as an adult picture book with full text from the play and breathtaking illustrations by Bendigo artist Chloe Neath. This extraordinary and unsettling volume will be on sale at all performances and available to order online. In addition to the book, a selection of the original artworks from The Baby Farmer will be exhibited, each piece intricately detailed charcoal on brown paper, each piece both disturbing and beautiful, each piece for sale exclusively through the artist.
On Friday 12 May & Saturday 13th of May 2017- Both performances are 8pm for a 9pm show start.
