One Night Stand by Captain Ruin
Are you ready for a One Night Stand with the law? Then spend a riotous evening with Captain Ruin in the special Melbourne return of this award winning work of dark solo circus. (Original New Circus – 2012 Melbourne Fringe)
Described as “Australia’s Harry Houdini” (John Safran – Triple JJJ), One Night Stand finds him sharing stories about politics, prisons and punchlines with characteristic charm, death defying physical antics and a ferocious wit.
Inspired by the true story of the performers incarceration, and using escapology, stage illusion, sideshow, tattooed striptease and his circus skills Captain Ruin beguiles the audience with tales of his many adventures, while also inspiring them to challenge the accepted realities of our modern world.
By equal measures both poignant and hilarious, this is circus with a refreshing social conscience, that provides an intelligent take on the forces that motivate us all.
Following acclaimed and sold out seasons around Australia, this is your last chance to see One Night Stand in Melbourne before Captain Ruin crosses the ditch to bedazzle NZ Fringe. Don’t miss out!
