Benn Bennett & Wes Snelling in BLACK BAG!
Black Bag is a 55 minute musical journey into the world of two German brothers. Written and performed by Wes Snelling and Benn Bennett, BLACK BAG stems from a rehearsal in which Benn sat at a piano and Wes stood alongside him with a case full of random props and costumes. The first BLACK BAG gig officially took place in November 2006 at Melbourne's Butterfly Club as part of a 'Wrong Night' hosted by the extraordinary Kate McLennan. The crowd were very receptive, thus encouraging Benn and Wes to build the show into an hour long performance.
Together they sung and wrote songs in a comical way. The characters also began to take shape and the shows main themes became about higher and lower status and most of all about sibling rivalry.
In October 2007, Black Bag was performed for 5 nights at the Melbourne Fringe Festival at Northcote Town Hall. The age reviewed the show by awarding it with 4 stars! -
In 2008 Black Bag will be appearing at 45 Downstairs as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. With dramaturg by Paul Horan (Real Stories), Black Bag has had a face lift and a tummy tuck and has expanded into an even more captivating and comically driven show.
We look forward to seeing you at one of the 20 performances!
BLACK BAG - There's something in there for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
